[Regnum] A spaceship with the remains of 166 people and marijuana bushes sank in the Pacific Ocean. This was reported on July 1 by the British newspaper The Sun.
"The SPACE capsule, which was carrying the remains of 166 people and numerous cannabis plants, was lost at sea after an unexpected crash," the publication said.
The material shows that on June 23, the carrier rocket of the American entrepreneur Elon Musk's Space X company launched The Nyx capsule into orbit with commercial cargo, including cannabis - it was planned to study the effect of microgravity on it. The presence of human ashes on board is explained by their participation in the space burial program.
The ship achieved orbit and a controlled entry into the Earth's atmosphere, but the capsule's landing parachutes failed to deploy, causing it to crash into the Pacific Ocean on June 24.
