She's Gonna Blow!

It seems that Scotty's last voyage has been having problems...

 

Missing Rocket, Missing Remains

 

When a spacecraft headed for Earth orbit was lost Saturday night, the small satellites for NASA and the Department of Defense were on board. But something else went missing as well from the SpaceX flight: portions of the cremated remains of 208 people who were being sent into orbit by Celestis, a company that offers “Explorer Flight” space burial services. Two of the people whose remains had been on the flight of the SpaceX Falcon 1 were Gordon Cooper , the Mercury astronaut, and James Doohan, the actor who played the wily engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott on the original Star Trek series.

 

Alive, he always managed to prevent her from blowing...

If TV was to be believed then we know what happened. Aliens that crash landed on the moon abducted the spacecraft and cloned Scotty from the DNA remains in order to make the needed repairs to their ship but they got confused that he wasn't really an engineer but with his plucky spirit and fist full of honorary engineering degrees made the needed repairs out of pieces of the left over Apollo landers, a moonbugy tire, and Alan Sheppard's golfball.

 

 

Honestly, if I've heard right they only send a portion of the cremated remains up just in case of something like this. I think depending on which "package" you buy you either just come back down after a couple of orbits or you burn up on reentry anyways.

 

Also, how many times has he been shot up into space? I heard he got the space burial years ago. Is this an old story or was the craft just not scheduled for reentry until recently?

I'd just hate to be the astronaut whose suit is punctured by orbiting cremated remains. Isn't this exactly the kind of space debris we were decrying on another string? :: imagines a tracking cloud on the NORAD screen labelled "Scotty" ::

 

I thought it was Roddenberry who was launched earlier, but I may be misremembering.

Gene Roddenberry's remains were scattered into space by one of the astronauts.
