BREAKING NEWS – Houston, Texas – A new company called Elysium Space plans on giving people the option to send the remains of a departed loved one in an urn to the moon in 2017. “The idea that humankind can look up at the Moon and poetically commune with its ancestors is probably as old as the human culture itself as a symbolic practice, and was even mentioned by anthropologists as an actual commemoration,” Elysium CEO Thomas Civeit. “This is obviously not for everyone, but it’s for people who can afford the $10,000 fee that wants to have someone that they couldn’t stand when they were alive, as far away from them as possible. Also, if anyone is convinced that their dearly departed went to hell, for $35,000 we’ll fly the body to the sun.”
