Send A Message To Scotty In Space Entertainment

James Doohan, who played Scotty on Star Trek is being "buried" in space. You can send along a digitized message along with his remains when they are blasted into space in December 2005.

Scotty and Sulu where my two favorite characters on Star Trek. As an engineer myself, I've always appreciated those who do the real work, even if they don't get the accolades or the fame.

According to George Takei, Doohan himself said, "Scotty is 99 percent me and 1 percent accent." So I guess that means that I would have like James Doohan himself. Happy travels, James!
