now that the general location within the ISS has been disclosed, two things could happen prior to de-orbit: a) it’s found and flipped out into space to join sample #2 already floating around in space, or b) it’s found and ends up in the Space Force museum in a nice display case as an honorary Guardian. Since the ashes sample is laminated onto a photo, I kinda like the latter.
Yes but who will remind them later on when they de-orbit it?
