They are mental templates, operating assumptions, the beliefs that bolster a world view and, above all, a way to explain nature. In any…

How to Send Your Relatives to Outer Space…
How to Send Your Relatives to Outer Space… I’m not sure if this has a whiff of scam to it, or if these folks are genuinely concerned for those of us who really, really, want to launch our own or our loved one’s cremated ashes into space.
