For thousands of years people have gazed into the sky and wondered ‘What lies beyond the heavens? What could possibly be among the stars?’ And for a select few, the answer is ‘my ashes.’
For thousands of years, people have gazed into the sky and wondered "What lies beyond the heavens? What could possibly be among the stars?" And for a select few, the answer is "My ashes."
A company called Celestis sends cremated remains of loved ones, and DNA of the living, into space.
The company takes between one and seven grams of human ashes, places them inside a capsule and has them attached as a secondary payload on a rocket.

Oh, ashes. I thought it said...never mind.
I think that Prime Mistake True-dolt of PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh) should have his remains sent to space, establishing Canaduh’s permanent presence in space. Better yet, why wait for death? He should do it now! I can think of a number of other WEF and gubmint types that should join him. Together, they could claim all of space for the WEF and UN!
Unless it’s shot into space beyond its escape velocity (7 miles per second instead of the 5 miles per second orbital velocity), it will eventually find its way back to earth within a few hundred or thousand years. Not that it matters since you’re dead.
I immediately thought of the Star Trek episode “I, Mudd”, in which Mr. Mudd said he had left his wife to explore and every time he thought of her he went deeper into space.
Hahahahahaha
As I get older, my eyes see something on television or a roadsign, and my brain misinterprets it for a split second, usually with some filthy yet funny (to me) alternative spelling, and I burst out laughing.
When I relate these things to my wife, she rolls her eyes at me...:)
Women just don’t understand us.
“it will eventually find its way back to earth”
Doesn’t mean the ashes didn’t get shot into space. You obviously were never a car salesman.
She gonna be in a world of hurt when the dead are raised...
I think that rocket is too small to make it into space. I guess it depends where they define that threshold.
