"Any man who could perform such a feat, I wo'd na dare disappoint. She'll launch on time. And she'll be ready."

Anybody who gets a chance, this Saturday James "Scotty" Doohan's ashes are set to be launched into space via rocket from New Mexico.

I will certainly raise a glass of Scotch whiskey to the sky to remember him, and I encourage all of you to do the same.

And finally, a few more of Doohan's best Trek quotes (thanks to Curtis Fox):

A can't change the laws of physics. A've got to have thirty minutes.
Now you're an engineer
Inform them of what? A new weapon that's invisible? Raving lunatics, that's what they'll call us! They'll say we're so desperate to exonerate the captain that we'll say anything.
How many times da I have to tell ya...the right tool for the right job!
That suits me, I just bought a boat
