How do you get rid of the body of a dead astronaut on a three-year mission to Mars and back? Have they considered freeze drying? Then they could just bring it back. With most of the water gone it would be much lighter and not offend anyone. Might be a bit of a shock if someone opened the wrong closet.

Emotional health screenings are needed. Remember that romantic triangle with the astronaut who drove in diapers to confront the other woman? Just imagine how things like that would play out in outer space.

Better yet. Freeze dry me and collect that valuable water and then chuck me out an airlock.

Better yet, consider what those guys did with the other passengers when their plane crashed in the Andes. Waste not, want not.

Might be a bit of a shock if someone opened the wrong closet. That would be really easy to do in space - just put the body in the vacuum of space tethered to the spacecraft in the shade for a few minutes.

Have they considered freeze drying?Zactly, troll it behind the spacecraft for a few days, place the remains in a shoebox and bring it back.
