Poor Soctty

Could there be a more ignominious way to be carried to your final resting place?

In life, James Doohan was the "Star Trek" engineer who worked miracles on the Enterprise, but a rocket meant to blast his remains into space has engine trouble.

A Falcon One rocket was to lift the ashes of Doohan, who played engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott aboard the fictional Starship Enterprise, into space next month but the launch has been delayed at least until February, organizers said Tuesday.

Well the rocket could have blown up on the launch
pad like our rockets used to do in the 60's. But of course it
doesn't come close to the worst, very worst, scattering
of ashes ever. (from the Big Lebowski)
