George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower And Ronald Reagan they go on a space trip to make their hair stand on end. Not real, long-dead former US presidents, but samples of their hair.

CelestisThe Texan company, which specializes in space burial, announced its plan on Monday as the United States celebrates Presidents’ Day.

The company said it would send “verified DNA” of former presidents into space later this year on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) rocket.

Also on board the flight dubbed businessThere will be the cremated remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and other actors from this 1960s sci-fi series.

In Star Trek USS business it was a spacecraft whose mission was “to boldly go where no man has gone before”.

Into the space

Celestis He said hair samples from four former presidents were provided by an anonymous donor and were accompanied by certificates of authenticity. They originally came from the collection of Louis Moucherot, a “star hair collector and appraiser” from Michigan who died in 2014.

“These hair samples were stored in a climate-controlled facility for several years in preparation for this mission,” he said. Celestis this is a statement.

“By adding the DNA of these American icons to businesswe are setting a precedent for future manned missions and adding it to the history of human deep space exploration,” said co-founder and CEO CelestisCharles Chaffer.

Hair samples, as well as thimble-sized cremated remains, will be carried into space by the ULA Vulcan rocket, which is scheduled to make its first flight in the coming months from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The ULA rocket will deploy two satellites, send a lunar module to the moon, and then launch a payload of hair samples and cremated remains of former presidents into deep space.

Celestis he sent some of Roddenberry’s ashes into orbit around the Earth on his first Founders Flight rocket launch in 1997.

The Houston-based company currently charges $4,995 to launch debris into Earth orbit and from $12,500 for deep space flights beyond the moon. (AFP)
