Get Buried on the Moon

from the funerals-in-space dept

A company that already offers to shoot your mortal remains into space will now (for a higher fee) bury you on the moon after you pass away. Is this going to become the next "in" way to leave this world?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Ashes to ashes.......

    Is this a good idea? To start littering our fellow heavinlly bodies? Doubt it..... I suggest, take a REAL peice of you....apendix, fingernail shavings, hair, odd-growths.. and severed body parts.....THEN launch them on the moon, THAT would be cool! Kinda morbid...but, imagine saying to your honey.... "My left pinky is on the moon, there...in that crater" ...wow.

    A pinky eh? "To show how I offened you, and to remind me of my mistake, my pinky is in that crater. " Sounds more like the yakuza....

    sacred moon...

    I remember reading that NASA had to apologize to some native americans for burying either Shoemaker or Levy on the moon b/c they complained that the moon is sacred to them...

    My question is: why stop at the moon? Why not aim yourself at the "edge" of the universe? Or how about search for ETs by shooting ourselves at them?
