The ashes of James Doohan, the Scotty of "Beam me up, Scotty," have been lost in the ether along with more than 200 others after the private rocket carrying them exploded two minutes into its launch. Doohan and his fellow late passengers had paid to have their remains launched into space.

I think the lesson here is that, indeed, the moon landing was faked.

    Well that sucks.

    I met him at a comic convention several years ago. He was a really nice guy.

    Oh, keebler. There's some info I wasn't prepared for. How much do you have to pay for a Scotty autograph? Probably way less than Spock.

    It was only one-quarter ounce of his ashes, so there may still be another chance. Although, I don't know how much the average human's ashes weigh, and I'm not gonna dump my mom out to find out. Besides, she was always overly thin.

    Actually I never got or wanted his autograph, or anyones autograph for that matter. I met him between signings and got to talk to him for a few minutes. I've met a bunch of the old sci-fi actors, most are decent people.

    The moon landing was faked. We never had a space program. It was all a ruse to raise money so Congress/Senate/the President could go on junkets to exotic places and play golf.

    Keebler, I'm sure you'll be submitting some Celebrity Encounters about the ones who aren't….riiight?

    Look at me, this is awful. A man's relatives may or may not have gotten their money back after having his ashes disrespectfully disseminated like so much kool-aid powder and all I can think of is whether Commander Riker is out there pinching bottoms.

    It's lonely out in space
    On such a timeless flight
    And i think it's gonna be a long long time
    Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think i am at home
    Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

    The only bad encounters I had was with an actress named Julie Caitlin Brown from Babylon 5 and an actor named Richard LeParmentier from Star Wars, and I doubt anyone knows who they are.
