Scottie, beam me up
Cinzas de Scotty lançadas no espaço
Desde que participou na mítica série de filmes Star Trek, o actor James Doohan nunca mais se “libertou” da personagem de Scotty e da célebre frase: «Scotty, beam me up». O actor morreu na passada quarta-feira, aos 85 anos, e a sua esposa faz questão de enviar as cinzas de “Scotty” para o espaço, à semelhança do que aconteceu com o criador da série, Gene Roddenberry.
As respectivas cinzas devem ser lançadas num foguetão Falcon 1, que será lançado em Setembro da Califórnia.
Scotty's ashes to hit outer space
Doohan played engineer Scotty in Star Trek
The ashes of Star Trek actor James Doohan, who died on Wednesday, are to be sent into space at his request. Doohan, who was 85, played engineer Scotty in the original sci-fi series. He died of pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease at his home in Washington. His agent said Doohan and his wife Wende had discussed sending his ashes into space, following those of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.
Star Trek co-star William Shatner has sent his condolences to the family. "A long and storied career is over," Shatner said. "I knew Jim when he started out in Canada and I knew him in his last years in America, so we go way back. My condolences go out to his family."

The Space Services Inc company said Doohan's ashes could be on a Falcon 1 rocket launching from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base, tentatively scheduled for launch in September.
