Send your fingernails into space
For $34.95, send a piece of yourself into the cosmos
Quote:
Call it space tourism on a down-to-earth scale.
A gang of pioneering rocketeers from Colorado Springs plans to send snippets of humanity - specimens of people's DNA, actually - into the wild blue yonder starting later this year.
The fingernail clippings, strands of hair and other personal mementos will be carried aloft and returned to their owners for as little as $34.95 per item, complete with a certificate attesting to the journey.

EDIT: Started this in BABBling, decided to move it to Space Exploration. Tough call, huh?
