The solar sail mission that was supposed to launch encoded DNA, images, and messages to the stars. I believe at least they were part of this space launch company, but their Web site has said they are temporarily down - temporary in this case being at least a year or more.

If they have either decided that the project was too much for them or that it has to be put on a long hold, I wish they would have the decency to say so.

In fact, they better do more than that, as many people paid $50 or more for this apparent privilege.

So, any answers on this?

Sorry to have taken anything away from your original post, Raoul, but they need to address the whereabouts of Team Encouter and as for burials in space, I would rather take the journey while alive and well, or least preserve my whole body for future reanimation in a better world, like S. R. Hadden in the novel version of Contact.
