One to beam up
Sad news just in: Star Trek's Scotty dies aged 85 and also here.
The man who proved you could run a spaceship on rubber bands and a couple of bits of rock.
The man who's engines "couldnae tack it" every episode, but still managed to pull something out of the bag.
And this line from the obituary: "And in 2000, aged 80, Doohan boldly went into fatherhood for the seventh time when his then 43-year-old wife gave birth to a daughter, Sarah." a 37 year age difference?? Wow!
He was a sci fi legend.
"Transporter room. One to beam up."
Update: His ashes are going to be sent into space on a rocket, a la Gene Roddenberry.

"One to beam up."
That seems like a fitting tribute. Somehow dignified, no matter how cliche it is.

Scotty has now beamed to a better place.
A very brave man who had a full life.
