This time, it appears they are going to beam the Star Trek's Engineering Officer down - into the ground.

Will they grant his ashes amnesty now or deport them back to Scotland? I’m betting on the latter.

The real hijack are people who claim that cracking a joke about 2 unrelated current event issues is a ‘thread hijack.’

I can’t tell from the article if the “payload” was supposed to stay in space or come back to earth. What would be the purpose of sending ashes up then parachuting them down?

The payload was supposed to be launched forever into deep space. The return to earth was a malfunction. That was undoubtedly brought about because Scotty was unfortunately in no condition to pull off his usual mission-saving miracle.

When you two finish deciding the purpose of the launch please let me know. I’m still confused about it.

The payload will be carried about 70 miles up before returning. Parachutes will then deploy to bring the ashes back to earth. Customers pay between $495 and $1,495 to place remains of loved ones into an aluminum capsule and send them up.

From another
(pre-launch) article:
Houston-based Space Services Inc., which specializes in space memorials, plans to send a few grams of Doohans ashes aboard a rocket later this year. Remains are sealed in an aluminum capsule that stays in orbit up to several hundred years before falling and vaporizing in the Earths atmosphere, the company has said.
Now I'm confused, too. We're all confused together!

Some don’t need to come back. Like the Mars rover.

Very carefully. Actually, it’s the rover’s ashes...

Captain, I am giving all I got! We can’t keep past warp 5 or the engine will blow!

What would be the purpose of sending ashes up then parachuting them down? It's like Arbusto and Congress saying they are going to secure the borders...
I guess they can say that [part of] Scottie finally made it into space.
