Firm offers to 'scatter loved one's ashes in space' for â¹68k
A UK-based company named Ascension is offering to "scatter loved one's ashes in space" for prices starting at Â£795 (over â¹68,000). Founded in 2012, it is using Helium balloons to dispose the ashes at an altitude of 100,000 feet (19 km), the border between atmosphere and near-space. NASA, however, denotes Karman line at 100-km altitude as the beginning of space.
