    Maybe I missed something, but how can it be 85 years apart since Scotty was on TNG.

      In that episode, they find Scotty trapped in a transporter buffer.

      But they also had a super old Dr. McCoy in one of the first episodes, so maybe lifespans are longer too.

        It would make sense that future medical enhancements would prolong lifespans significantly, especially given that (depending on the episode) they’ve cured things like the common cold and headaches.
