Send your ashes to the moon — or hold off for a celestial cemetery plot

[tripplej]

I am at a loss of words here..

from ocregister,

"For $12,500, you can send a gram of your cremated remains blasting onto the moon or have them shot out into deep space.

It costs about $5,000 for a “burial” in low-Earth orbit, where a travel-shampoo-size urn can spin for years at 17,000 mph until it gradually descends into the white-hot re-entry atmosphere. That’s what was done with bits of “Star Trek” entertainment franchise creator Gene Roddenberry, and famed writer and psychedelic drug advocate Timothy Leary.

A thimble of ashes or DNA can be shot to the edge of Earth’s atmosphere for about $1,000."
