Houston companies will send cremated remains, crystallized DNA into space. Here's how much it costs.

That's the promise of two Houston companies sending crystallized DNA or cremated remains into space.

Heath, whose day job is business development for an aerospace company, raised more than $200,000 in 2022 The crystals, Heath said, help differentiate his company from competitors that are also sending DNA into space. Customers have something tangible, and they might even feel a"crystal connection" between their crystal on Earth and the sister crystal on the moon. It might feel like a part of them is on the celestial body, according to Space Crystals' marketing.

Suborbital missions, which take a quick trip into space and return without circling the Earth, cost $2,500 for 1 gram of cremated remains or DNA.
