Spaceship with human remains and marijuana bushes sinks in the ocean

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[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.

Here is the Sun article in question. The article adds that the Nyx capsule was built by German aerospace startup The Exploration Company.

#1 The company said it is still investigating the root causes of the crash as it prepares for its next flight

I expect the root cause would have been the launch.

#2 Not to mention the dream of flight, the theft of fire, and the Big Bang.
