Toter Scotty wird in den Orbit gebeamt
Der letzte Wunsch des "Star-Trek"-Schauspielers James Doohan alias Scotty wird bald in Erfüllung gehen: Ein Luftfahrtunternehmen wird seine sterblichen Überreste mit einer Rakete in den Weltraum schießen.

beamed up
‘Star Trek’ chief engineer forever known for beaming up Enterprise crew
As the man who commanded the Enterprise’s particle beam transporter, Doohan’s character also inspired the phrase, “Beam me up, Scotty.” Capt. Kirk and other members of the Enterprise crew never really issued the order quite that way, however, until the fourth “Star Trek” film when Kirk said, “Scotty, beam me up.”

beamed up
As in "beam me up, Scotty", apparently a stock phrase from "Star Trek". I never watched it, myself.

I stand corrected, thanks to Kim. Apparently Capt. Kirk never actually said "Beam me up, Scotty!". This does not surprise me, since it is well known that Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson!", and that the most or sedond-most (after "Here's looking at you, kid!") famous line from the film "Casablanca", "Play it again, Sam!", never actually occurred in the film.
