Also, FWIW, the payload only contained a couple grams of Doohan's ashes, as a symbolic gesture.

is it wrong to find this tremendously funny?]]>Aug 4th 2008 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/
You'll eventually pass clean-through James Doohan's rotund spirit in about a thousand years and he'll throw some Scottish epithets in your direction. Something to do with rotten haggis and your lousy sense of humor.

Go ahead and laugh it up people. The maggot picnic is just a cerebral hemorrhage or clogged artery away.]]>Aug 4th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/
I'm sorry to inform you that Apple does not sell senses of humor. You might have to shop like the rest of us low-lifes for once and buy one at your local Fry's Electronics.]]>Aug 4th 2008 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/
@Steffen:
Not a problem for those of us who don't believe in that spiritual/mystic nonsense. I'm not laughing so much at the fact that he's dead, but really at the abounding irony in that:
1. This is the second time his ashes get pwned trying to get launched into space.
2. He played a part in a hackneyed science-fiction soap opera for nerds set in space.
3. His combusted remains got combusted once more.

Oh LAWD, I'm LOL'ing all over again.]]>Aug 4th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/
Having them explode in a fiery mess in space isn't like they were destroyed? Just refried.......

And yes, you can laugh. I remember when my grandmother past away, her funeral instructions demanded that the family throw a big party and not make the occasion solemn. Funerals are to celebrate, not depress.]]>Aug 4th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Scotty's ashes; soon to be on ebay.]]>Aug 4th 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/spacexs-rocket-destroys-scottys-space-bound-ashes-in-a-demonst/Aug 4th 2008 1:26PM
