What is behind the bizarre practice of launching capsules containing
the burnt human remains of celebrities into space? Isn't this
ghoulish practice just a bit beneath the dignity of science?


Why should science and ceremony be mutually exclusive? Especially when the
ceremony is directed related to the science?


It seems to unenlightened, medieval and superstitious.

And finally, just what about this story invokes "science" anyway?


Although I couldn't find the reference, I heard on the News Hour
(PBS), that there will be ashes also flying on NASA's Pluto probe.

Who thinks of this stuff? Who approves it?
