Setback for Space Burial
The recent space burial mission conducted by Celestis, in partnership with The Exploration Company (TEC), encountered a significant setback. The mission aimed to send the ashes of 166 individuals into space, but things took a turn when the capsule crashed into the Pacific Ocean. This mission not only included human ashes but also cannabis seeds, adding an unexpected twist to the story.
This unfortunate incident raises questions about the reliability of space missions, particularly those involving human remains. As interest in space burials grows, the need for stringent safety measures becomes increasingly clear. The mission’s failure not only disappoints the families of those who wished for a celestial farewell but also highlights the challenges that come with space exploration.
