James
Doohan, who played the original Star Trek Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty"
Scott, died in 2005.
His
last wishes were for his ashes to go into a suborbital 'memorial ride' to the
top of the world's atmosphere before returning to earth, the ashes to be returned
to his family.
The
flight took off from Spaceport America, New Mexico, on April 28.
But
something went wrong.
First
they thought they had lost the rocket on which his and 200 other people's ashes
had flown...
Then
they found it in New Mexico's San Andres range...
But
it is only accessible by helicopter.
The
rescue committee is being organized and will soon be on their way...
