- ZacT, on 08/05/2008, -0/+10Went missing? They didn't go missing, they were blasted into the atmosphere while traveling faster then mach 1. That sounds like a good funeral.
- jitjit, on 08/05/2008, -0/+6Every time you breathe, you may just be snorting up the remains of a dead dude.
- Sarevok9, on 08/05/2008, -0/+5Burnt before they went up... burnt coming back down...that's a rough afterlife.
- dafragsta, on 08/05/2008, -0/+4the truth is that was always the case before some rocket went MIA. You are made of formerly dead things.
- MacParrot, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3They are NOT missing. They're right over there...and there...and there

PS: Digg needs a delete function... - GeezerD, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1So, Doohan's funeral plans are still up in the air?
- yingjai, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1digg needs to prevent duplicate posts more than the delete function. tired of seeing duplicate stories on frontpage.
- dafunkmonster, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I was about to say "Virgin Galactic makes Epic Fail", but then discovered that the "remains" were already dead prior to being jettisoned into space. Too bad, I would've gotten lots of diggs if it had been Virgin's failed virgin flight into space.

- Fockzhound, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1His [Scotty's] son, who goes by Ehrich Blackhound — Blackhound, he says, is a translation of Doohan from the Irish — said in the post on BoingBoing that there have already been several attempts “to send my father on his way,” and that “I’d like to finish saying goodbye.” Every launch attempt, he said, “is like reliving his funeral.”
- Sadly, in a poor & ironic turn of fate, there was no body to beam Scotty up. - swizzlestick, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0The company who set this up: "The remains are placed in a specially designed, individual flight module or capsule which contains either seven grams or one gram of cremated remains, depending upon the service you selected"
If the ashes were released into the air then eventually each of us should absorb approx. 1,000 to 10,000 atoms from each of the 208 people.
