The chairman of the company, Celestis, sending remains on the Astrobotic launch scheduled for next week is pushing back on the characterization that the service he offers is somehow a descrecration when in fact it's a celebration.
I can’t see any legal justification to aid the Najavo. But I’m siding with them. Sending some dead dudes bones to the moon is a stupid ass business. If you factor in the environmental impact of the rocket it probably contributes less to society than a crypto scam.
I agree that wasting money sending ashes to the moon is dumb but not for religious reasons so I can’t “side” with them here
Like if a cultural group claimed SUVs were against their religion and should be banned, I’d agree with the goal but wouldn’t voice my support because the justification is idiotic
