 Space funeral startup to launch ashes into orbit on SpaceX rocket

A startup planning to launch dead people’s ashes into orbit has announced
that its first launch will be on board one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets.

*Elysium Space*, which describes itself as a “memorial spaceflight�
company, will send its cargo up as part of a Spaceflight rideshare mission
on a SpaceX Falcon 9.

“We are honored to assist families in achieving their dreams, riding on one
of the greatest rockets in the world,� said Thomas Civeit, founder and CEO
of Elysium Space. “This historical launch provides the perfect conditions
to make this memorial spaceflight an exceptionally meaningful experience
for all participants.�

The startup claims to already have 100 bookings for its inaugural Elysium
Star II mission—among them military veterans and aerospace enthusiasts -
with reservations starting at $2,490.

SpaceX has been one of the main drivers in making space flight more
affordable—ultimately enabling startups like this to exist. Earlier this
year, the company made aerospace history after successfully launching and
landing a recycled rocket.

This critical milestone will help substantially reduce the cost of space
access—since the majority of the launch cost comes from building the
rocket, which until now could only fly once.
