A Texas-based space company undertook a mission to deposit  mortal remains of 330 prominent people on the Moon and beyond, making it the first commercial firm to do so.

Ashes of 330 prominent people sent to space

A Texas-based space company undertook a mission to deposit&nbsp; mortal remains of 330 prominent people on the Moon and beyond, making it the first commercial firm to do so.

Remains of more than 300 prominent people, including George Washington and the cast of Star Trek, will be released deep into space on January 8.&nbsp;
This arduous journey would be undertaken by Texas-based company Celestis Inc, whose two-stage Vulcan Centaur rocket is scheduled to launch at 2.18 am, eastern timezone, making it the first time that a commercial company would release the mortal remains on the Moon and beyond.&nbsp;
The ashes are stored in 1/4- and 1/2-inch long titanium capsules, of which 62 of them would be dropped on the Moon, while the rest 268&nbsp; would be deposited into deep space.
After dropping off some of the capsules on the Moon, the spaceship will then take the remaining 268 capsules over 185 million miles into deep space, where they will &ldquo;orbit the sun forever,&rdquo; Celestis CEO and Co-founder Charles Chafer said, according to New Yor Post.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had a lot of firsts in my career, but this will be the first commercial deep space mission ever done &ndash; and hopefully it will be the first of many, many more over the next few centuries,&rdquo; Chafer was quoted as saying.&nbsp;
Among the remains that would be sent to space include three former US presidents&mdash;Washington, John F Kennedy, and Dwight D Eisenhower. According to reports, an anonymous donor had contributed to the DNA samples of these personalities.
Also, partial remains of late &ldquo;Star Trek&rdquo; cast members Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), James Doohan (Scotty), and DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy) would also be on board.
However, this service doesn't come free of cost. A person wanting to send the ashes of their loved ones deep into space needs to shell out $13,000. Whereas less permanent send-offs such as suborbital flights &mdash; which come back to Earth and are returned to the participants&rsquo; families &mdash; run nearly $3,000, and to orbit around Earth costs almost $5,000.&nbsp;

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin successfully completed its fifth human spaceflight that sent six people to suborbital space on Saturday, including Katya Echazarreta, the first Mexican-born woman to fly into space.
The New Shepard program mission called NS-21, launched from the company's West Texas site at 9:25 a.m. EDT (1325 GMT), when its rocket vehicle lifted off from Launch Site One, the company's facility about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the town of Van Horn.
Echazarreta, A 26-year-old electrical and hardware engineer joined a diverse international crew for the less than 10-minute flight. 
She is the first passenger sponsored by the nonprofit Space for Humanity and is one of the youngest women to fly to space.
Another crew member on the flight was civil production engineer Victor Correa Hespanha.
He was the second Brazilian to fly to space.
The New Shepard capsule and its six passengers touched down under parachutes into a cloud of dust in the Texas desert after the short flight that reached a peak of 347,538 feet (106 kilometers) above ground level.
The flight comes as Blue Origin competes with Elon Musk's SpaceX and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic for space tourism dollars and efforts aimed at increasing diversity in space travel, which long has been dominated by white men.
