The answer is a contrived way of mentioning something I learned from Wikipedia, about James Doohan,aka "Scotty", the engineer from Star Trek.
Selectively quoting Wikipedia,
"A portion of his ashes, ¼ ounce (7 grams), was scheduled the following fall for a memorial flight to space ... Launch on the SpaceLoft XL rocket was delayed to April 28, 2007, when the rocket briefly entered outer space in a four-minute suborbital flight before parachuting to earth, as planned, with the ashes still inside... "
"Some of Doohan's ashes are hidden under the floor cladding of the International Space Station's Columbus module - after being smuggled aboard in 2008 by Richard Garriott..."
"On May 22, 2012, a small urn containing some of Doohan's remains in ash form was flown into space aboard the Falcon 9 rocket as part of COTS Demo Flight 2."

...So. In the end it was Scotty who, in a manner of speaking, was finally beamed up?

Once it's 'dust to dust', I don't think it counts.
William Shatner (Capt Kirk) is the only one who has actually been in space (on Bezos's rocket).

I believe Gene Roddenberry (or different parts of his cremains) has already been up in space a couple of times (with another I've heard of planned)
- and he had a cameo in Star Trek as a chef
...as you did say it was a trick question
