So now, if you fly to space, you not only have to dodge satellites and space junk, you have to dodge bodies also???

It cost about $60K to bury my nephew. Well, all expenses, including the autopsy, the mortuary, the burial, the plot, the casket, the coffin, church services, limo, and refreshments afterward. No gravestone, yet. Very sad. That was the money for his college education.
It shouldn't cost that much, but permits, development, coordination with air traffic, etc, and fuel isn't cheap. Then there's insurance, and control, salaries. If it has a Challenger moment, dead body parts everywhere. It seems wasteful to send a body up solo, but I wouldn't want my loved one going with a stranger.
Aim it into the sun. Better yet, just cremate here.

Seems like the better solution to me.

Just stick me in an old Ferrari 308 which hasn't had the fuel line issues fixed. Same result, but more exotic. :) ;D

But the new technology would cost just $100,000 per launch, Mr Francis said.
