Oh do l detect a nod to Scotty from the old original Star Trek series? Alien and Mr. Scott getting way drunk, as they drink their way through the bar. They come across a bottle even Scotty isnt familiar with. The alien asks "whats this?" Scotty staggers and squints at it... "its...its...its green!"
One of my favorite bits is from the movies. And sadly, am choking on which one, tho a niggling in my brain wants to say Undiscovered Country, where he has an exchange with Uhura, and after she leaves with a warning to be careful, he mutters to himself not to worry about him, he knows this ship like the back of his hand. And walks his noggin into a bulkhead going thru a port. Out cold.
That was from The Final Frontier. My favorite ST movie. That was also my favorite scene.
James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott, you're amazing.
Montgomery Scott: There's nothing amazing about it. [walks away, speaking to himself] I know this ship like the back of my hand. [Klunk!-Smacks into a utility pipe and knocks himself out.]
He did knock himself completely out. I just rewatched the scene.
And now Scotty is actually going where no human has gone before. When he died he was the first human to be "buried" in the depths of space his casket was lifted aboard an outgoing probe and launched toward the center of the Universe as we know it. Gene Roddenberry followed suit when he died.
Not sure if was first. First attempt, rocket failed. The company that does those ash launches, only put them in LEO. Wont even make it to the sun. The ashes will eventually renter and burn up like a wee meteor. Or maybe more then wee. Guessing the launch multiple tubes of ashes in a larger container. Doubt they the eject all the tubes. They got enough debris up there to keep track of with out deliberately adding more. Be nice if they did those launches on trajectories that would take em to the Sun. We are star dust, after all. Be nice to go back, reincorporated, and eventually with our star, be ejected into the universe at large when it starts dying and making it's planetary nebula. Least that's what *I* want.
PS: Just had a mem trigger. Can't recall who it was, but on one of the lunar probes some years back, that was looking for water in polar craters. That two part one. (an impactor followed by a sensor suite that also impacted after flying thru the ejecta plume of the first looking for water signatures)I seem to recall one of them had ashes from somebody aboard. Was that good ol Scotty? Or someone else? Or am I getting trivia mixed up in the mash I call my brain again?
