The San Francisco-based company said families paid about $2,500 to have a sample of their loved ones ashes placed aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Traveling into space will be the remains of military veterans and aerospace enthusiasts, alongside those whose families were looking to celebrate a loved one within the poetry of the starry sky, Elysium Space said in an emailed statement.
James ashes and the others were packed into a 4-inch square satellite called a cubesat, Elysium Space Founder and CEO Thomas Civeit explained to CNN. Families will be able to track the spacecraft in real-time through an app as it orbits the earth for about four years before it falls back to Earth, according to Civeit.
The launch is part of a rideshare mission organized by Spaceflight.

No photos of the boring machine.
No coverage in the media, except a small sized mud hole in a parking lot near Los Angeles, and a composite piece of artwork Musk tweeted.
Why would you lie about this on Free Republic?
To the moon, Alice!
Oh, now we will have 4 cubes zipping around up there. Like there isnt enough stuff up there.
Costs about 10,000.00 to have them buried in Brooklyn.
Dearest elon: Stop polluting the universe. What a hypocrite.
