TLDR

This article reveals that Richard Garriott, a private astronaut who visited the International Space Station in 2008, secretly brought the ashes of James Doohan, best known as Scotty from Star Trek, aboard the station. Garriott was contacted by Doohan's son and received the ashes, but due to time constraints, he couldn't follow the official protocol. Instead, he covertly placed some of the ashes behind the station's floor cladding.
