Remains of James Doohan Lost in New Mexico

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the red-shirts-all-around dept.

'The search for the UP Aerospace payload of experiments and the cremated remains of some 200 people — including "Scotty" of Star Trek fame, as well as pioneeering NASA Mercury astronaut, Gordon Cooper — continues within rugged New Mexico mountain landscape.' Is it just me, or does it seem appropriate that they lost the landing party? Here's to a safe recovery!"

    What the hell was the effin point of this whole thing? They simply haven't invented photon torpedos yet so can't blast their corpses into space.
