A space burial mission by Celestis, in collaboration with The Exploration Company (TEC), faced a setback when its capsule, carrying the ashes of 166 individuals and cannabis seeds, crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Launched on June 23, 2025, the 'Mission Possible' capsule completed two Earth orbits before a reentry anomaly caused its destruction.
