'Scotty' reaches outer space at last

Mad Bess once got to sit on Jimmy Doohan's knee at a Star Trek convention; t'was one of the highlights of her life.  Today we read that 'Scotty' had finally made it into space.  I'd like to think that as the rocket clawed for altitude a muffled voice rang out from the urn, "Captain!  She canna take much more!"
