Guess I wasn’t paying attention. I presumed Scotty’s ashes were being sent out to space to stay there.
To: PBRSTREETGANG
Me too. If his ashes aren’t being scattered into space, then I fail to see the point of the exercise.

James Doohan died at the age of 85, not 77.

Correct. That’s what the article said. It was Gordon Cooper who died at 77.

Me too. If his ashes aren’t being scattered into space, then I fail to see the point of the exercise. It probably has more to do with tracking the spacecraft they are on. We have to track all near-earth objects so we can make sure it doesn't collide w/ satellites or other spacecraft.

He’s trapped in a transporter so he can reappear on a future version of Star Trek!

I agree — a proper send-off would have been to cast his remains adrift into space from the ISS (complete with bagpipe farewell)...

question... is anyone as concerned about the saying “My Bad” as they are “I’d Hit it”?

Who doesn’t make those mistakes when converting between star dates and the Gregorian Calendar? It’s so hard to properly account for the effects of warp speed on relativistic time.

"question... is anyone as concerned about the saying My Bad as they are Id Hit it?" As long as one pronounces "Uranus" properly (And not Ur-in-is) I'm okay with it.

" Its so hard to properly account for the effects of warp speed on relativistic time." Precisely why I flunked out at Star Fleet Academy.

"Scotty's Ashes Go Missing"
Has nobody checked the warp drive? What about the transporter room.
To: JewishRighter
Dang, I knew this would be a problem....I wondered if his request would be denied and it should have been. Yeah, it’s a good sentiment, all right, having your ashes orbit the earth and all — but yes potentially dangerous for astronauts....
Well, the next time someone wants his ashes orbiting in space, I hope the request is turned down.
