Space News for you

I looked for a “space news” or similar in Industry Discussions but it doesn’t seem to exist, so I’ll just drop this here:

160 People Wanted to Be Buried in Space. Their Capsule Slammed Into the Ocean Instead

The [human remains], however, were on the capsule for a much more... wholesome reason: to memorialize loved ones. Celestis—a Texas-based tribute company—provided ashes from over 160 deceased individuals to make the trip into space (sadly, this is not the first time Celestis lost a payload, the first being in [2023] when a rocket carrying a late NASA astronaut’s ashes exploded over New Mexico).

This was a hitchhike aboard a SpaceX rocket except, oops, the payload didn’t eject and came back to earth and landed in the ocean. Oh well.

How can you be “buried” in space? Space, by definition, is full of nothing. How can you be “buried” in nothing?

Get divorced and then you won’t need to ask that question. :joy:

How can you get divorced, without being married?

Give up your citizenship, that would be a “divorce” from the United States. :laughing:

For a quick moment I thought this is the best logic I have ever seen on this board. Then I realized you are talking to a single man.
