Hes not in orbit, the rocket just touched space then came back.

"During a 15-minute flight the rocket, which reached about 70 miles above the earth, separated into two parts which returned to Earth on parachutes with the capsules holding the remains."

Greatest engineer there ever will be.

Nice to have known you Mr Scott.

Favourite line - Star Trek 4 - using a Macintosh. Holds the mouse as a microphone - "computoooor, computoooor"

Brilliant.

Great actor. Sorely missed.

I must say, I find that a tad disappointing. Surely he deserved to boldly go into the depths of space rather than returning to Earth?

You know, I took one look at the rocket they were using and I knew there was no way it was big enough to get into orbit. So I wonder what the point of it was.
