"Controversy Erupts Over Plan to Send Human Remains to Moon, Navajo Nation Protests"

A rocket will be launched to the moon carrying the remains of nearly 100 people and a dog for "space funerals," a for-profit practice offered by U.S. companies Celestis and Elysium Space. The practice involves launching samples of cremated remains into space, with prices starting at $2,995. The plan has sparked controversy, with concerns raised about the desecration of the moon, particularly by the Navajo Nation, and ethical questions about sending non-consenting beings, like dogs, into space.
