Could only happen in America.  I suppose the next venture will be sending rockets filled with ashes to the heavens.

Too late - it's already been done, though not often as the cost is prohibitive to all but the very wealthy. Every last milligram of payload costs a fortune. Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek) and Timothy Leary both had their ashes put into orbit.

But is that number proportionally larger or smaller per person than in France or Switzerland, Shakes?  I think that that is perhaps a more important statistic.
