I saw a news that talk about "Funeral at the space". What is funeral at the space? "Funeral at the space" is that human died and put a part of ashes in the capsule and launch it to the space. This system is thought by Thomas. He was engineer at the NASA. He establishes a company this year in San Francisco and he starts "Funeral at the space" project. It only in the United States, but it will begin soon in Japan. The cost is two hundred thousand yen (about $2031). Then what will happen to it after having launched ashes? The capsule goes around the earth with one lap of speed on a man-made satellite on a circular orbit of the earth for 90 minutes for several months. The family and the friend can confirm the position of the satellite by free application for smartphone and tablets.
Funeral at the space. This project is start in April 21th 1997. Pegasus rocket carried the ashes for 24 human's including Gene Roddenbery's to the space (Gene Roddenbery is a famous movie director). This project is not just carry to the space, it can carry to the moon or outside space. In 2006, Ashes of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes were put on the Pluto space probe and enjoyed a trip long time at Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh were discovery Pluto in 1930. It is the first case that human's ashes go to the out space.
"Funeral at the space" project is very high cost so a few people and celebrity can use this project. By the way, about 150 human's ashes went to the space. But I think this project is nice and many people will use this project. This time, live human also died human can go to the space. I think it's very nice. I hope many people can use this project in the future.
