Poor Scotty! Check out the comments on this news report.
A ROCKET carrying the ashes of Scotty from Star Trek is stranded on top of a remote mountain range in New Mexico.
Actor James Doohan, who played the Starship Enterprise’s Linlithgow-born chief engineer Montgomery Scott, had asked to be blasted into space after he died.
Last month a portion of his ashes, along with the remains of 200 others, boldly made the journey 70 miles up to the edge of the earth’s atmosphere.
But the 20-foot rocket blew off course, made a four-minute sub-orbital flight and parachuted back down to land with a bump in the San Andres Mountains.

Oh no! I love Star Trek and Scotty was so sweet. I know I’m a phonesex geek sometimes but I admit it. I hope they finally do get to carry out his final wishes.
