The ups and downs of drug use.
After the high, the crash is always there...

Space exploration always has risks. Luckily, these space travelers were already dead.

Think of how routine space flight has become and the money to do keeps falling, now we people’s ashes and cannabis seeds going into space for no good reason combined with the likes Gayle King and Katy Perry going into space and claiming astronaut status things are far different than Alan Shepard and John Glenn, it’s a farce

[trebb]

“Cannabis seeds” - I see the problem - they didn’t get high enough.....what kind of hair-brained idea was this?

[Getready]

Procedure for cremation and short time trip into “space” seems cheaper than earth bound standard funeral in some of the options.
Cannot be a recession when people have money to hire Celestis to do their work.
The commitment to growing cannabis on other planets sounds like a dopers deranged brain working overtime. Probably easier to synthesize the THC, and/or other psychoactive compounds...in the year 2525...

“Space capsule carrying ashes of 166 people - and cannabis seeds - lost after crashing into Pacific Ocean”

Sound like the pilot was WASTED.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Good one. Ashes and cannabis on a rocket. Sounds like something the Germans would do.

[tumblindice]

If you plant those seeds in the ashes, and water it you can grow Deadheads.

MORE POLLUTION OF THE OCEANS

[katana]

Similar to what happened with The Dude’s and Walter’s plans for Donny’s ashes.

[gitmo]

Its precious cargo included the remains of 166 people, whose ashes were sent into orbit through Celestis, a Texas-based space burial company

A Space Burial Company ???
