Good
Back when Doohan died, there was a flurry of stories about him, and his impact on people.
I was moved by some university publishing incoming engineering student answers to the question, "Why Engineering?" And that's not the exact question, but close enough.
They got a ton of one word answers: Scotty.
So many romanticize the captain of whatever it is. And no judgement. It's a fine romance of the mind.
But, what's cool to me is many also romanticize making it happen too. Pushing it in various ways, making the machines sing, and all that goes with engineering solutions to problems or to reach some goal.
Getting what bit we have of him up there is symbolic in the very best of ways.
