Don’t consider that “deep space” but ok with it.
The whole thing is ok even if the company is trying to make a buck in an odd way.

The ashes are not high enough to be in permanent orbit.
They basically burn up in reentry.

I'm OK with that; A little history.
Thanks

At least they’re not bullets then (paint flecks in orbit can act like bullets).

I thought Doohan’s ashes had already been launched?
Do Estes rockets actually go that high?

How non-permanent?
I would be rather pleased to know I had absorbed a few more molecules of James Doohan, and I’m ok with the others’.

The film version of The Loved One covered this back in 1965.
A fun/love story.

Very fitting.
Surprised Leonard Nemoy didn’t do this - but he and William Shatner are both Jewish, so probably a No-No. ;)

Reminds me of this old movie THE LOVED ONE(1965).

I thought Doohan’s ashes had already been launched? Dividing the decedent's ashes into individual portions and "disposing" of them separately - sometimes even years apart - appears to be a "thing."
