Probably been brought up in The Holodeck or Strange New Worlds Forum. 👍

I despise Bezos playing billionaire rocket ship games because Amazon et al. is freely allowed to devour free enterprise and build infrastructure to dodge taxes while many of their workers live in literal poverty. Having gotten that off my chest, sending William Shatner to space is actually a really cool thing.

I think it would be cool if he brought Nimoy's urn (properly sealed) with him. It would be a nice gesture, since he missed the funeral. Just sayin...

As a Jew, Nimoy was buried not cremated. There is no urn to bring to space. His body was buried in a cemetery in LA.

Cremation isn't as uncommon as it used to be for Jews. My grandfather was cremated and no one, not even the rabbi who officiated, batted an eye. I believe my grandmother has stated she wishes the same when the time comes.

But it's true Nimoy was not, and the world isn't prepared for the utter awesomeness which would be "Weekend at Bernies - in Space" staring William Shatner and the late Leonard Nimoy. Even though, given that Shatner himself is Jewish, Mel Brooks has already composed the perfect title sequence.

He did it! No gremlins on the wing, just a fluffy furry thing found that purrs when touched and seems to have a faster than normal reproduction rate. I am sure it will be fine.
