Re: Beam me up, Scotty
Doohan's cremated remains will be packed into a special tube that is ejected from the rocket and expected to orbit Earth for about 50 to 200 years before plunging into the planet's atmosphere and burning up.
I guess it's too expensive to break out of Earth's orbit ?

. . . says the engineer at Space Services Inc who is responsible for the rocket laboring to heft the late actor's remains into space.*
