While it was not being "Beamed up" as he did for Kirk on so many occasions, James "Scotty" Doohan has left the world behind. In fitting tribute, his ashed have been launched into space. Here's the article on it form SciFi.com....
"The cremated remains of original Star Trek star James Doohan
(Montgomery "Scotty" Scott) were finally blasted into space on
a commercial rocket on April 28, the Associated Press reported. Wende
Doohan was one of the relatives who fired a rocket carrying a small
amount of her husband's ashes, along with those of other people,
including Apollo astronaut Gordon Cooper, at 8:56 a.m. local time from a
New Mexico launch site. The suborbital flight plummeted back to Earth,
coming down at the White Sands Missile Range.
Doohan died in July
2005 at age 85.
The remains of Star Trek creator Gene
Roddenberry were sent into space in 1997."
