By 'human remains,' they mean trace amounts of dead people's DNA.
Also, I am sorry the Navajo Nation feel that way, but considering Apollo astronauts left bags of their shit on the moon, I think it's a little too late to worry about keeping it sacred at this point.
I feel like that's going to bite them in the ass.
Next time they say some lands is sacred it'll be "Ok but you also said that about the fucking moon."
Also, Indigenous where? Because it aint limited to NA, everybody is going to have some ancestor that worshiped the moon.
Although they can also easily make the "we lived there too" argument on sacred lands. Not so much the moon.
Hey maybe the Celestis CEO believes his Gods gave him a mission to shoot human remains to the moon and is just acting on it
On the one hand, we're talking about some rich people putting their remains on the moon. It's not scientifically important. If stopping it is the cost of respecting a historically disrespected group, then it's no great loss.
On the other, if we keep going to the moon, someone is going to die up there eventually.
I’m all for respecting different cultures, but nobody owns the fucking moon.
You wouldn't download the moon
