UPHAM, N.M. - The cremated remains of actor James Doohan, who portrayed
engineer "Scotty" on "Star Trek," and of Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper soared
into suborbital space Saturday aboard a rocket.
It was the first successful launch from Spaceport America, a commercial
spaceport being developed in the southern New Mexico desert.

Good to see this happened. And good to see a commercial space center has
gotten underway.
