Send Your words with Scotty on his Final Voyage

[Ouabache]

A few months ago we paid our respects to James Doohan (Scotty) who died last July at age 85.
Something quite fitting has been done online. If you'd like to send some words of farewell with Scotty on his final voyage, there is a website set up to record our tributes. Over 5300 tributes have already been logged. (you can view the last 500).
quote from their site:

We invite friends and fans around the world to compose a tribute to Mr. Doohan, to honor him on his journey to Earth orbit. Your name and message will be placed on board the spacecraft currently scheduled for launch in mid December, 2005. Please enter your message...

...If you wish to send a few words of tribute, they will be digitized and sent with Jimmy, as part of the payload on this launch...

That's cute.

For you guy's information. I fully expect you lot to do the same for me when I croak. And if I end up anywhere short of Mars I'm coming back and haunting PF forever.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of James Doohan, known to many as Scotty from the iconic Star Trek series. He was not only a talented actor, but also a veteran and an advocate for space exploration. It is heartwarming to see that his legacy will continue on his final voyage through the tributes being collected online.

Space exploration has always been about pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and discovery, and Mr. Doohan's contributions to popularizing this field have been immense. Sending his tributes on board a spacecraft is a fitting tribute to his passion for space.

I encourage everyone to take a moment and share their words of farewell with Scotty on his final voyage. Your messages will not only honor him, but also serve as a reminder of the impact he has had on our society and the world of science. May his memory continue to inspire future generations to boldly go where no one has gone before. Live long and prosper, Scotty.
