CNN update: "Scotty's" ashes successfully rocketed into space.

Yes, it was only a a suborbital spaceflight for James Doohan's [Scotty]
remains, and those of Gordo Cooper's as well, but it was UP Aerospace's
first successful space launch.

Well done, guys!

But, Scotty's, and Gordo's ashes aren't finished yet.
There is one Celestis Corporation mission coming up on a Falcon 1
rocket booster to park their remaining ashes in earth orbit.

Compared to the fraudulent 'promises' pulled by so-calledsmall time 'space enterprises',
like TransOrbital, Inc, and Encounter2001, I think UP Aerospace's first spaceflight
bodes well since it is a true small time corporation...but one that showed itself
to have the talent, perseverence and integrity to achieve success.

Good show! Cheers.
