Star Trek's Scotty to Get 'Beamed Up' on His Final Frontier

James Doohan, the actor that played 'Scotty' on Star Trek will be getting the ride of his life tomorrow...nearly two years after his death.

Doohan died in June 2005 at the age of 85, due to complications from Alzheimer's.

Some of his created remains will be blasted into space via a rocket from New Mexico.

Earlier this month, the ashes were put into a metal container inside the rocket in preparation for the launch.

Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and about 200 others will join Doohan as they are shot into space.

There was a public memorial service today in Alamogordo, N.M.
