JohnnyG Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 "LOS ANGELES - A privately held rocket company on Wednesday blamed a design error for its latest failure to reach orbit, which caused the loss of three government satellites and human ashes, including the remains of astronaut Gordon Cooper and "Star Trek" actor James Doohan. The two-stage Falcon 1 rocket, which blasted off from a Central Pacific atoll Saturday night, separated as planned on its way to space, but leftover thrust after engine cutoff caused the first stage to fall back and hit the second stage, according to Hawthorne-based SpaceX. The rocket, containing the remains of 208 people, dropped in the Pacific and was not recovered. The family of Doohan, who played Scotty on the television show "Star Trek," could not be reached Wednesday night. " Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Scotty was finally right, she was "breaking up"! Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed.

lothos Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 This was in the news a couple weeks ago I think. The price to send up ashes is really expensive, so they only do a gram at a time. Another gram of his ashes will be going up on their next flight. WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn.
