Failed Orbital Mission Loses Human Remains, Space Pot

Unconventional payloads aboard an Exploration Company capsule were lost at sea when it crashed into the ocean on Tuesday.

A spacecraft carrying the remains of more than 160 people crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, June 24, causing its contents to be lost at sea. The mission intended to return the remains to the families that provided them following a brief stint in space, but now, they will never be seen again.

On Monday, June 23, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Transporter-14 rideshare mission from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base, carrying 70 payloads to low-Earth orbit. The largest was Nyx, a 1.6-ton (1.45-metric-ton) reentry capsule produced by The Exploration Company, a German aerospace startup. Dubbed “Mission Possible,” it was the company’s first attempt to carry customer payloads, taking roughly 660 pounds (300 kilograms) of cargo on a trip around the Earth. This included the ashes and DNA of more than 166 deceased people provided by Celestis, a memorial spaceflight company based in Houston, Texas. Though Nyx successfully reached orbit, its parachute system failed during reentry, according to Celestis.

“As a result of this unforeseen event, we believe that we will not be able to recover or return the flight capsules aboard,” the company said in a statement. “We share in the disappointment of our families, and we offer our sincerest gratitude for their trust.”

Though the mission achieved several key milestones—including a successful launch, orbit, and controlled reentry—Celestis acknowledged that its unsuccessful landing marks a significant personal loss for participating families. “In the coming days, our team will reach out to each family individually to offer support and discuss possible next steps,” the company said.

“Though we currently believe that we cannot return the flight capsules, we hope families will find some peace in knowing their loved ones were part of a historic journey, launched into space, orbited Earth, and are now resting in the vastness of the Pacific, akin to a traditional and honored sea scattering.”

This isn’t the first time a Celestis mission hasn’t gone as planned. In May 2023, a UP Aerospace rocket carrying the cremated remains of a late NASA astronaut exploded just seconds after liftoff over the New Mexico desert. The rocket was also carrying more than a dozen student experiment payloads for NASA.

In a statement posted to social media Tuesday, The Exploration Company deemed Mission Possible a “partial success,” explaining that the capsule managed to power its payloads nominally in orbit, stabilize itself after separating from Falcon 9,r reenter Earth’s atmosphere, and reestablish communications after the brief blackout period.

“But it encountered an issue afterwards, based on our current best knowledge, and we lost communication a few minutes before splash down,” the company stated. “We are still investigating the root causes and will share more information soon. We apologize to all our clients who entrusted us with their payloads.”

In addition to the human remains and other payloads, Nyx carried cannabis provided by Martian Grow, an open-source citizen science project. The project, which ultimately aims to grow marijuana on Mars, secured a spot on Nyx to send seeds and plant matter to low-Earth orbit and study how microgravity affects their germination and resilience. “Cannabis is resilient, multipurpose, and biologically complex—making it ideal for studying how life adapts to extreme environments like space or Mars,” the Martian Grow website states.

Unfortunately, the cannabis was lost at sea along with the rest of Nyx’s payloads. Gizmodo reached out to Martian Grow for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Mission Possible was The Exploration Company’s second flight. The first, Mission Bikini, launched a smaller reentry capsule aboard the first Ariane 6 flight in July 2024. The rocket’s upper stage suffered an anomaly that prevented it from launching the capsule in its reentry trajectory, leaving it stuck in orbit with Bikini still attached.

This week’s mission was more ambitious, testing both reentry technologies and all the technologies that support Nyx, which is designed to eventually transport cargo to and from low-Earth orbit. Future iterations of this spacecraft could even be used to carry crews to space, according to SpaceNews.

This week’s crash underscores the realization that Nyx won’t be ready to fly astronauts anytime soon. Victor Maier, lead for Germany and central Europe business at The Exploration Company, told SpaceNews that the company has no plans to conduct additional test missions ahead of a Nyx demonstration flight to the International Space Station in 2028. That mission is pending support from the European Space Agency. The Exploration Company will, however, consider ground tests for some of the spacecraft’s subsystems, Maier said.

The company’s Tuesday statement suggests otherwise. “Leveraging the technical milestones achieved yesterday and the lessons we will extract from our ongoing investigation, we will then prepare to re-fly as soon as possible,” it reads.

hey if other ppls hard work and success can be robbed and worn like face skin by billionaire CEOs then so to can the failures, is only fair

...the cannabis was lost at sea along with the rest of Nyx’s payloads.

ok joke's over you taken things too far

Against Orban's wishes the Pride march in Budapest took place with seemingly even greater attendance. Or at least more foreign attendance. That's in itself already a funny event in anti woke world.

But right wing Dutch circles found a really weird talking point. They say the left wingers and centrist supporting the pride march are automatically hypocrites because they....don't think Muslims should be treated like vermin which somehow means they can't support Pride.

ah yeah that's a classic, just remind them they're projecting as they always do, concern trolling on matters they know they don't care about while trying to justify why hating (bombing and attacking) is somehow therefore kinder to Muslim women and gays than the fevered hallucinations from their mind mirror they paint those they must hate with. they are not "liberators" and certainly don't honestly see themselves as such, nor should anyone trust those who do claim to be or want to be...its the white man's burden repacked yet again. or perhaps as Sarte timelessly said;


“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Nah, it's 'Well why are they (Dutch politicians going to Budapest) not standing up for gay people in The Netherlands then?' I've heard this excuse from the 'I'm not against gay people, but...' crowd a lot in the last couple of weeks. Conveniently forgetting we have the Pride Parade in Amsterdam every year... which they also complain about, though not because they hate gay people honestly.

Also, Wilders lamented that his good friend Victor Orban couldn't jail Femke Halsema and keep her out of The Netherlands. Just as a joke, you understand.

Unequivocally, yes. There needs to be a permanent reminder of the choice America made to become itself again, and nothing would represent this better than a grand monument to Trump. Tho does not necessarily need be Rushmore, other options could and should be entertained.

Gunman started Idaho blaze and then fatally shot 2 firefighters in ambush attack, officials say

Authorities have lifted a lockdown order at the scene of a sniper ambush that killed two firefighters after they found the body of a man with a firearm nearby. Police say firefighters were ambushed by sniper fire while responding to a blaze in a northern Idaho mountain community.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A man armed with a rifle started a wildfire Sunday and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said.

A shelter-in-place order was lifted Sunday night after a tactical response team used cell phone data to “hone in” on a wooded area where they found the suspect’s body with a firearm nearby as flames rapidly approached, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said.

Officials did not release his name, nor did they say what kind of gun was found.

“We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,” Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. “These firefighters did not have a chance."

Sheriff’s officials said crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene around 1:30 p.m., and gunshots were reported about a half hour later.

Investigators said the gunman acted alone.

“We believe that was the only shooter that was on that mountain at that time,” Norris said.

Three victims were brought to Kootenai Health, said hospital spokesperson Kim Anderson. Two were dead on arrival and the third was being treated for injuries, Anderson said. The wounded firefighter was “fighting for his life” after surgery and was in stable condition, Norris said.

The scene was sheer pandemonium as the brush fire burned and firefighters rushed to the scene only to come under heavy fire.

First responders made urgent calls for help on their radios: “Everybody’s shot up here ... send law enforcement now,” according to one dispatch.

Gov. Brad Little said “multiple” firefighting personnel were attacked.

“This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters,” Little said on X. “I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more.”

Norris said it appeared the sniper was hiding in the rugged terrain and using a high-powered rifle. He said he instructed deputies to fire back.

Just as the evening press conference was expected to begin, the bodies of the slain firefighters arrived in the nearby city of Spokane, Washington, escorted by a procession of fire and law enforcement vehicles. Firefighters and others saluted as the vehicles passed by.

An alert by the Kootenai County Emergency Management Office asked people to avoid the area around Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Nettleton Gulch Road, about 4 miles (6.5 km) north of downtown Coeur d’Alene.

Though the shelter-in-place order was lifted, the sheriff’s office cautioned residents to be prepared because the fire was still burning.

The FBI responded to the scene with technical teams and tactical support, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.

The Idaho House Republican Leadership said in a statement: “We are horrified by the murder of two firefighters in Coeur d’Alene, and shocked by such a vicious attack on our first responders. We are praying for them, the injured, their families and their colleagues.”

Coeur d’Alene is a city of 55,000 residents near the border with Washington. Canfield Mountain is a popular hiking and biking area on the city’s outskirts, covered with trees and heavy brush and crisscrossed with trails that lead into a national forest.

Fire is always a big concern for the region, said Bruce Deming, whose property abuts the trail system. When he noticed smoke on the ridge Sunday afternoon, he wondered why no firefighting helicopters were responding.

When a friend texted to tell him about the shooting, he realized why he wasn’t seeing aircraft: “Because they’re concerned about being shot at,” he said.

As deputies set up posts nearby, Deming pointed them to a trail that starts near his backdoor and leads directly to the site of the fire.

“I just don’t want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to figure if somebody’s out prowling around my place,” he said.​

The rate of myocarditis in the general population, unrelated to covid or vaccines, ranges between 100 and 1050 per million. That means that even unrelated to covid, the rate can vary by as much as 90% (!) depending on the population, and can be as high as >1000.

And you think that someone must be lying if they don't recognise a 0.005% fluctuation in that, based on a foreign report, in less than 2 weeks.



"Inverted"?

Heart issues, overall, were enormously increased by covid itself, if we consider cardiac arrhythmia, pericarditis, and myocarditis together. That dwarfed any increase from the vaccine.



No, because we're not talking about that. We're talking about kids wearing masks with holes in them to play instruments. You said that was done due to gov/scientific guidance, but couldn't find any such guidance to say that.

It was recognized by at least Israel and the US military.

The people getting heart issues from covid are mainly the vulnerable that can get very sick from covid while the people getting heart issues from the vaccine are the young healthy population. Hence, inverted.

You need subgroups... Without that, you wouldn't have seen the myocarditis issue.

Yes, it all flows from the government/"scientific" recommendation messaging about masks? Then, other places like schools implemented mask policies based on that, hence kids wearing masks to play instruments to abide by the school mask policy (that was there because the "science" said to wear masks).

I too, wish that Trump would stop trying to make me have sex with America

Why do you care about Trump? You live in Australia.

 

[Silvanus]

It was recognized by at least Israel and the US military.

So? I'm telling you the overall numbers so you can see how utterly negligible this increase was.

The people getting heart issues from covid are mainly the vulnerable that can get very sick from covid while the people getting heart issues from the vaccine are the young healthy population. Hence, inverted.

Here's a question. Do you honestly, genuinely believe that for young men, the rate of complications for covid is less than 5 per million people? 0.005% chance? That's what it would need to be, in order to he outweighed by the negligible risk of myocarditis.

You need subgroups... Without that, you wouldn't have seen the myocarditis issue.

When the numbers are 10 per million for covid and 15 per million for the vaccine, then subgrouping exposes that-- the differences between subgroups are <10 per million, minuscule numbers.

When the numbers are thousands per million for covid and <5 per million for the vaccine (as with arrhythmia), there's no way to cut that pie that makes the vaccine worse.

Yes, it all flows from the government/"scientific" recommendation messaging about masks? Then, other places like schools implemented mask policies based on that, hence kids wearing masks to play instruments to abide by the school mask policy (that was there because the "science" said to wear masks).

So show me the gov/scientific institution guidance to wear masks with holes in them. You keep saying this came from such guidance but can't point to any.

Don't forget, you're talking to an armchair doctor and psychologist who always extends the goal post. It's all the other dose, 24/7. He may work at a hospital as he claims to be, but it's pretty clear, he's low on the totem pole and don't know shit. Though I wouldn't know any actual hospital, that'll hire somebody like be that ignorant and lack of knowledge in the medical field. Most people like that get kicked out day one or within a few years.

Just so we are clear: he claimed that work at a hospital at one point or at least during the beginning of covid. Which is why I don't believe him for a second. Nor ever did so in the first place.

It's not about the overall numbers... Don't you get it?

Healthy young me, yes. Young men that already had covid before the vaccine was available, yes. It's not just myocarditis as the only harm of the vaccine.

Yeah, there is. Think about how they get these numbers/cases.

You do realize the option is either A) cuts holes in mask to all students to play instruments or B) ask for an exemption from the mask policy. Option A has for less resistance, hence why it happened. I literally showed you an article where scientists were literally wasting their time studying covid spray from instruments, complete idiocy.

You literally argued wearing masks outside isn't stupid.

[Silvanus]

It's not about the overall numbers... Don't you get it?

The numbers per million are absolutely relevant if you want to argue that scientists must be lying if they didn't spot the increase. Because you're saying they must have spotted an increase from ~1050 to ~1055 per million (even though such fluctuations are well within the expected variations) in a span of a couple of weeks. Its absurd.

Healthy young me, yes. Young men that already had covid before the vaccine was available, yes. It's not just myocarditis as the only harm of the vaccine.

Young men suffered issues from covid at a rate of less than 0.005%, that's what you're seriously going to argue. OK.

Dude, the death rate alone from covid among young men was significantly higher than 0.005%.

Yeah, there is. Think about how they get these numbers/cases.

Even you don't believe this. Even among children, the rate of arrhythmia after covid was ~2% -- massively lower than for adults, yet massively higher than the incidence of myocarditis from either covid or the vaccine.

You do realize the option is either A) cuts holes in mask to all students to play instruments or B) ask for an exemption from the mask policy. Option A has for less resistance, hence why it happened. I literally showed you an article where scientists were literally wasting their time studying covid spray from instruments, complete idiocy.

So in short, no, government/ scientific institution guidance did not call for masks with holes cut in them. Good talk.
