Can I really be buried in space?
In the past, unconventional funerals consisted of funerals at sea or other unusual areas where their deceased or their family members wished the cremated remnants to spread. Today, the funerals in space are possible and raise the bar to unique places that you can call their final place of rest. However, it is not yet possible to have its entire remains buried in space; Instead, your ash sample from cremation can be involved in a cosmic funeral. The ashes are contained in a small tube and transported from this world through a space vessel or a rocket. In most cases, more than one person is drifted and released into space at the same time to reduce costs and missiles are not only running for the purpose of burial in space. Therefore, people who want to be buried in space for other missions. Because only a small percentage of residues are buried in the universe, traditional earthly services and funerals are also held.
Most space funerals are projected into the orbit of the Earth, which is outside the atmosphere of the planet, but is not considered to be the universe. Human remains circulate on Earth for the end of the time before they fall back into the atmosphere and burn on the reentry. This reentry prevents contamination of space, also called orbital debris, and can last anywhere from two to several hundred years.
It is also possible to be buried in space at a greater distance than in the Earth's orbit, such as the Moon. The lunar orbiting space funerals has not changed the Earth's atmosphere in any human time frame, may take thousands of years to return to Earth. Some remains are destined to go even further outside the distance Pluto WHICH is considered deep.
The funeral in space can be extremely expensive, so only a few of them have found their final places of rest. For example, only 1 gram (0.035 oz) of the ash has released approximately $ 12,500 (USD) into a deep space. Those who are afterThe backs in space in the Earth's orbit can ensure that there are burial measures for less, at a price of around $ 1,300.
Among the alternatives to burial in space, while still honoring love for the universe is to have a star appointed in honor of a person or sending their remains on a flight return journey to space. These services cost much less than having the remnants buried in space, while still reaching a unique memorial.
