[0]Jane Q. Public writes “According to Ars Technica, the ashes of James
Doohan, who played “Scotty” in the original ‘Star Trek’ series and
several movies, [1]were aboard the SpaceX III launch and were lost when
[2]the launch vehicle failed.” Which totally wouldn’t have happened if
Scotty was the engineer.

Update: 08/05 00:09 GMT by [3]KD : BoingBoing has a [4]tribute to Doohan
from his son.
