LOS ANGELES, Oct 15: The remains of late ‘Star Trek’ actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on the show, are to be blasted back into space accompanied by thousands of tributes from adoring fans, organizers said on Friday.
The actor, who transported the crew of the Enterprise to and from the starship on the now immortalized command, ‘Beam me up, Scotty’, is to go where only a few men have ever gone when his ashes are launched in orbit in December.
