Wife arranging for a 53-foot gonzo fist (see avatar) to shoot ashes over compound. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000866342
How much would it cost to have my ashes released from the shuttle or a satellite, so they orbit the earth forever? Is littering in space illegal? I like the idea that the last thing I do is break somebody's rule.
Around $5000 / lb to low earth orbit. And it's not forever- it'll eventually re-enter the atmosphere.
