Just one indication of "Star Trek's" intersection with real life came at the
convention on Saturday night, when the featured speaker at the banquet
honoring Mr. Doohan [Scotty] was Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on
the moon.


Ending a talk full of "Star Trek" references, including a wish for a
Federation starship for his next command, Mr. Armstrong addressed Mr.
Doohan: "From one old engineer to another: thanks, mate."
