If your recently deceased pet was always the adventurous type, you should send it into space.
Did your recently dead dog love to explore new frontiers and neighborhoods? Did you constantly find your cat gazing at the stars, pondering the meaning of the universe, as well as why it has to put up with your basic ass? Did your curious pet gold fish always try and jump out of its bowl? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should probably shoot your recently deceased pet into space.
Celestis Inc, a Texas based company offers a brand new pet memorial service where they send the cremated remains of people’s pets into outer space. The program is called ‘Celestis Pets’, and branches off the service the company already offers of taking human remains into space (including those of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek).

Prices for the service range from $995, to $12,000, and will kick off in October with the first memorial pet spaceflight of a blue merle Australian shepherd named Apollo.
I have to admit the idea of looking up at the sky and thinking of your dearly departed pet is a nice gesture, lets just hope the remains don’t pick up momentum and return to Earth as a huge asteroid bent on the destruction of the planet.
