Submission + - Scotty Heads for the Final Frontier
refitman writes: "The BBC reports that Mr Scott's (James Doohan) remains have been launched into space. James's ashes were sent about 70 miles above the earth on a private SpaceLoft XL rocket. Before the launch, his widow Wende said "While 'Scotty' lived this, Jimmy lived for this,".
Launching a single gram of ashes costs $495 (£248), while sending remains into deep space, a service which comes into effect from 2009 will cost up to $12,500 (£6,257)."
