According to the law of nature everyone’s death is certain. In such a situation, many people want that after death, they should be thrown into some holy river, while many people want to be buried with a special person after death. This desire of man is very valuable. But do you know that this desire of some people can also be quite unique. Indeed, some people want to merge into space after death. Yes, it may sound strange, but the space company Celestis has started preparing to fulfill this wish.
Now after death, those who dream of being separated from this world and disappearing in space and want to say goodbye to their loved ones in a special way, their wish is going to be fulfilled soon. The company will release the remains of 47 people from 5 countries into Earth orbit.
The company is planning to connect the remnants to a telecommunications satellite, which will be launched from the Florida Space Coast. These satellites will orbit the Earth for about a decade. During this time, Celestis will also provide live GPS data from the satellite, so that people can know where the remains are and track them.
The special thing is that even after the satellite is inactive, the remains will remain near the satellite. After this, as soon as the satellite starts entering the Earth’s atmosphere, the fossils will burn and merge with it in the atmosphere.
