" Scotty" of Star Trek Passes On - Jul 21, 2005 10:03

The late James Doohan, best known for his role as spacecraft engineer Scotty on TV sci-fi classic Star Trek, is set to receive an extraterrestrial send-off.

The Canadian actor died from complications of pneumonia and Alzheimer' s disease at his Redmond, Wash., home Wednesday. He was 85.


A sad day indeed...

I heard that he is having some of his ashes sent into space to orbit (or float around) for hundreds of years.

Gene Roddenberry (?) supposedly also sent his ashes into space.

Bless both of these men for the contributions they have made to our society...
