On July 20, 2005, at 5:30 in the morning, Doohan died at his home in Redmond, Washington.
His ashes, ΒΌ ounce (7 grams), were scheduled the following fall for a memorial flight to space with 100 others, including Project Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper.[39][40] Launch on the SpaceLoft XL rocket was delayed to April 28, 2007, when the rocket briefly entered outer space in a four-minute suborbital flight before parachuting to earth, as planned, with the ashes still inside.[41] The ashes were subsequently launched on a Falcon 1 rocket, on August 3, 2008, into what was intended to be a low Earth orbit; however, the rocket failed two minutes after launch.[42] The rest of Doohan's ashes were scattered over Puget Sound in Washington.[43][44] On May 22, 2012, a small urn containing some of Doohan's remains in ash form was flown into space aboard the Falcon 9 rocket as part of COTS Demo Flight 2.[45]
And For The Fun Part
Although he continued to work with William Shatner in the Star Trek films, Doohan did not get along well with him and was once quoted as saying, "I like Captain Kirk, but I sure don't like Bill."[26] He was the only former Star Trek co-star to decline to be interviewed by Shatner for Shatner's first Star Trek: Memories book about the show, nor did he consent to do so for Shatner's follow-up book, Star Trek: Movie Memories. WAY TO GO SCOTTY! WILLIAM TIBERIUS JIRK! Now he look like he fell out of the ugly-stick tree and hit every branch on the way down...
Oh the thought! TRANSPARENT ALUMINUM!
