I notice that Scotty is going to have his ashes thrown into space. Can you do this from earth directly, or does that defy the laws of physics?

I believe Scotty's remains are being transported via an American company that regularly shoots things up into space. Amazing there is a demand for this type of service.  
They'll be going into orbit they won't be flying off into space, that will need escape velocity approx 25000 miles per hour. They'll be up there with the satellites etc. They are using a relatively small rocket, something that he arranged before his death apparently.

I can imagine the soundbites those engineers will be using...
ye canna change the laws of physics MargeB !
Yeah I mean "Dunee give me tee many boomps, the dilithium matrix is bepassed like a chissmas tree" bye Scotty.

Maybe they've figured a way for his ashes to be beamed up.

Maybe they send up a rocket and he just clings on?
RIP to Scotty, an important part of my formative teen years......

ditto wolfgang, RIP Scotty!

Just found out he was canadian and the accent was put on!

Didn't know he had died. Met him once. Lovely man.
I believe Gene Roddenberry's ashes are already up there, having been orbiting for several years.
Just thinking ahead for William Shatner - surely he has to have a headstone with the simple inscription ' Beam me up scotty' on it. It's got to happen hasn't it?
So he's going 'where not many men have gone before!'
