First US moon landing mission in decades launches with NASA science, humans remains on board​


Also on board the rocket was another payload from the space burial company Celestis. Dubbed the Enterprise Flight, it contains 265 capsules with human remains as well as DNA samples from former US presidents John F. Kennedy, George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower.

The remains also include “the creator and several cast members of the original Star Trek television series, as well as an Apollo-era astronaut, together with people from all walks of life, interests, and vocations”.

The Enterprise Flight payload is headed for deep space where it will spend eternity orbiting the sun.
