The Final Frontier: Scotty Makes It to Space, Privately

This morning at 8:56am the SpaceX Dragon, a privately owned space module, became the first of its kind to dock with the International Space Station. This is the first step in NASA's latest strategy (due to budget cuts) that will allow private companies to handle orbital and "routine" operations.....it carried not only supplies for the crew of the ISS, but the ashes of over three hundred people — including Star Trek's James Doohan (he played "Scotty" on the original series).
