Remains of Star Trek's 'Scotty' headed for space :

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051014/en_nm/doohan_dc

Doohan's cremated remains will be packed into a special tube that is ejected from the rocket and expected to orbit Earth for about 50 to 200 years before plunging into the planet's atmosphere and burning up.

Fans can post tributes to Doohan at the Space Services Web site (http://www.spaceservicesinc.com). Those messages will be digitized, packed with "Scotty" and blasted into space.

They did something similar with Gene Roddenberry, too, I believe.
