Welp that's not good... Anyone else notice that spaceflight has had a lot of issues since celestis upset the Navajo nation by sending human remains to the moon?

Interesting hypothesis :)

That was on Astrobotic's lander, wasn't it? If so, I think the remains ultimately ended up off the coast of Australia rather than on the moon.
