My first thought when I heard about this (celestis.com; sending ashes into orbit) was Kessler syndrome and then obviously that song by the Weather Girls—wondering what you thought
So what Celestis does, is when you send up your ashes (in a LEO rocket with approximately 100+ other people’s ashes) it falls back down to earth because they don’t use Proper Space Rockets to send em up, but rather a Low Earth Orbit rocket that will fall back down to earth within minutes/hours. You might even get to see the rocket as it reenters the atmosphere, it’ll look like a shooting star. Except it’s your grandpa instead.
