What was lacking, to bury people on the moon. Or that enlunen as I mark out for here. If you like what you read, is the brainchild of a U.S. company must have some connection with the war as Irack and have nowhere to store the dead that this war generates .... what better place than space. No seriously the matter is, a company called Celestis Inc, collected 10 thousand dollars from next year to bring some of your ashes by a robot. We're all crazy!
Celestis president Charles Chafer said his company reached an agreement with Odyssey Moon Ltd. and Astrobotic Technology Inc., to attach capsules contain the cremated remains in robots to land on the moon.
Odyssey Moon and Astrobotic are among private enterprises seeking to send a robotic spacecraft to the moon and conduct scientific experiments. The capsules containing the cremated remains would stay on the moon with the ship when the mission ends.
Chafer said he expected to be launched about 1,000 capsules containing ashes in the first mission Moon, scheduled for late 2009 or early 2010, and about 5,000 on later flights.
"The moon is a special place," Chafer said, adding that half a dozen people have already registered for the service.
"For many people, it would be a romantic look to the sky, see the moon and know that their father or mother or a loved one is there," he said.
In the past 11 years, Celestis Inc., a subsidiary of Space Services Incorporated, based in Houston, has sent the ashes of hundreds of people from 14 countries into space, including U.S. astronaut Gordon Cooper and actor from "Star Trek "James Doohan, who played the chief engineer Scotty in the popular series television.
