James Doohan, known popularly as the actor for the role of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the TV-film series, Star Trek. His last wish was to see space, which couldn't be achieved. So, when his ashes were flown to the International Space Station, it sounded like an apt compensation. Doohan died from pulmonary fibrosis in 2005 at 85 years. Game developer Richard Garriott smuggled Doohan's ashes onboard ISS.
