Things Smuggled Into Space...

 ISS astronauts get a personal weight allowance, which they've used to take all kinds of things up...including a Star Trek uniform.

But what about a Star Trek actor?

In 2008, Richard Garriott smuggled some of James Doohan's ashes onto the space station and hid them under the floor of the Columbus module. And yes, they're still there, along with a picture.

Which means that James Doohan is the first human being to be officially buried in space.

Humans some days. I love it.
