The Space Burial Bill  When the Space Burial Bill was passed,
cryogenic suspension became a passing fad. The wealthy filled
and invigorated Wallops Island and its outlying municipalities.
Paying respect to the dead became a celebration where mourners
screamed shrilly in space themed amusement parks and gorged
themselves during private bacchanals inside world class hotels.
The mourning period, if it could be called that anymore,
culminated with the remains being blasted into space.  The
options were almost endless. Body parts could be distributed
into different tracts of sky for exorbitant prices.  Ashes were
blasted into the stratosphere to be caught up and scattered by
the jetstream. Or a combination thereof could be employed. One
poet philosopher had his skull sent in a collision course with
Halley’s Comet. A professional basketball player, who has yet to
die, has willed his hands be sent towards the sun. The fact it
had governmental funding made it weirder.  But there wasn’t a
lack of competition. Houston,
