Someone told me if I want my body's ashes sent into space, I have to die first. Is this true?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Or is this person just pulling my lariat?

1. That's just a lie from Big Funeral Home and Ash Launching

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Not at all. In fact, I've just opened up a

Launch Your Ashes Into Space emporium that also serves pie.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Evil pie?

[Midlodemocrat]

5. If you'd like. We're still in beta, so we're open to all suggestions.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. I like evil pie best.

4. Where do you want your ashes hauled?

:shrug:

7. By black girlfriend begs to differ

[flvegan]

8. No. You could be killed and burned (or vice versa) once in space.

Then, your ashes scattered (however that would work) once above orbiting height (wouldn't want headlines like "Rabrrrrrr's ash cube slams into shuttle killing 4 astronauts" now do we?).

9. I thought they already were sent.

10. It's not true. I have my hair cut remnants and nail clippings cremated and launched

once a year. It's the only way to be sure that the government doesn't get some of my DNA to be incorporated into their vat-grown genetically-engineered mind-control-having super-soldier program...

11. It's threads like this that make me ask the question:

Who says DU isn't educational?

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. This is the most education place on the Internet, and the Lounge is the apex of DU education

:thumbsup:

14. Possibly even the nadir.

Could be.

[trof]

13. You gotta lariat? A lasso? Or even a lassoo?

kewl
Git along, little doggie.

15. I suppose you could send dust into space

since the majority of it is made of your skin...
