Scotty's Rocket Trouble

It would be so much easier with a transporter

The third attempt to send Star Trek actor James Doohan's ashes into space has failed.
Doohan's remains were on board Spacex's Falcon 1 rocket, which exploded five minutes after take-off on Saturday.
Ashes of 207 other people, including US astronaut Gordon Cooper were also on board.
The Canadian's son Ehrich Blackhound commented: "My dad believed in human ingenuity, and he believed in mankind's destiny beyond the exosphere.
"That it would take several attempts in these early stages to successfully achieve orbit would not have fazed him."
A spokesperson for Celestis, the firm that organises the space burials, claimed they had back up supplies for all passengers that weren't recovere

The actor's ashes were lost in 2007 on a rocket flight, but they were found three weeks later on a hillside in New Mexico.

Mister Scott!

It is time to stop all this nonsense and repair the flux capacitors once and for all. I want all these glitches out of the way by the time I have to negotiate prices at the Jupiter Hilton Garden Inn.

Meaning, "if we've lost your ashes, we've got more"?

Well if he has a flux capacitor all he needs are some beer cans and banana peels. He might have a greater need for dilithium crystals and a working warp drive.

It's just awful when your rocket goes off prematurely.

But I didn't realize dead guys suffered from that problem.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Officials say an indigenous New Zealand reptile regarded as one of the last living remnants of the dinosaurs will become a father for the first time in decades at the age of 111.

Henry the tuatara and his younger mate Mildred produced a dozen eggs last month after mating at the Southland Museum on New Zealand's South Island in March.

Tuatara curator Lindsay Hazley said Wednesday Henry has lived at the museum's special enclosure for Tuatara since 1970 and had shown no interest in sex until he recently had a cancerous growth removed from his genitals. He was now enjoying the company of three females and might breed again next March.

A first-time father at age 111. That beats the record set by Tony Randall.
