TL;DR Summary

The Navajo Nation opposes the plan to send human remains, including those of former U.S. Presidents and Star Trek actors, to the moon, citing the moon's sacred significance in their cosmology. The Biden Administration has intervened, calling an emergency meeting to address the issue. The remains are set to be launched on a rocket, with objections from the Navajo and other Indigenous groups who view the act as desecration of a sacred space. The space burial company, Celestis, defends the plan, while the Navajo Nation continues to push back, emphasizing the moon's spiritual importance in Indigenous cultures.
