If one could fly dead love one into the moon one will but actually there
is. Cremated remains of love ones can be aboard a spaceflight and make travel
outside the planet or even put love one’s ashes on the moon surface. There is a
service offering this.
Celestis is a company offering such service and launching its new
mission called Luna 02 or the tranquility flight.
“Celestis calls the upcoming mission Luna 02 or "the Tranquility
Flight." This latter name both honors the Apollo missions (Apollo 11 touched down in the moon's Sea of
Tranquility) and describes the final resting place and peace of mind for
participants and their families, said Celestis co-founder and CEO Charles
Chafer. Celestis provides a variety of mission options, Chafer …… "Our
Luna Service is among the most popular, as it affords families and friends the
permanence of an off-planet service and provides a constant reminder in the
night sky of a loved one's final resting place," he said. The Luna 02
mission is the 18th Celestis memorial spaceflight mission. The company has
launched symbolic portions of cremated remains into suborbital space and Earth
orbit, as well as to the lunar surface. Celestis' Luna 01 flight sent the
"cremains" of the renowned astrogeologist Eugene Shoemaker to the moon aboard NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft in 1998. Planetary
scientist Carolyn Porco championed the proposal to honor the late scientist by
sending his ashes to the moon.” (Space)
“"Our
Luna 02 mission and subsequent Celestis Luna missions commemorate those who wish
to make a tangible contribution to humanity's continued exploration and
peaceful utilization of space," Chafer said. "As humanity expands
beyond the limits of a single planet, it is particularly appropriate that we
carry our rituals, celebrations and memorials along with us."” (Space)
The main
point : Cremated remains of love ones can now be aboard and fly into space or
even bury or put ashes on moon’s surface in flight called memorial spaceflight.
