Title: SpaceX Finally Succeeded
Post by: Shane for Wax on May 22, 2012, 10:16:06 am
It not only launched into space (http://mashable.com/2012/05/22/spacex-dragon-launched/) but it went up with James Doohan's ashes (http://mashable.com/2012/05/22/spacex-dragon-scotty/).

The man who played Scotty for 40 odd years finally got his dying wish fulfilled, 7 years later.

Hat's off to SpaceX and Jimmy.

I thought his ashes had already been shot into space.

No, he had to wait cause NASA couldn't/wouldn't do it...

They'd cracked a dilithium crystal and didnae have enough power.
