 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Scotty will be blasted into space — not beamed up — and Gordo is returning for his third flight.
The planned launch sometime in March of a rocket carrying the ashes of actor James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery Scott on "Star Trek," and Mercury program astronaut Gordon Cooper will give a fitting send-off to two men who helped popularize human space exploration.
The craft also will hold the ashes of 185 others, including a telephone technician, a nurse and a college student.
