Wonder where the human remains onboard will end up.

To others, for context: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/navajo-objection-to-fl...

> Science instruments aren't the only things hitching a ride to the Moon on a commercial lunar lander that is ready for launch on Monday. Two companies specializing in "space burials" are also sending cremated human remains to the Moon, and this doesn't sit well with the Navajo Nation.

It seems rather apt that remains of both Arthur C. Clarke and Gene Roddenberry could find themselves drifting aimlessly through space. It makes me think of Frank Poole and the SS Botany Bay.

and the Starlost (Canadian series).

"Keir Dullea, gone tomorrow."

Ultimately? Probably in a black hole like the rest of us.

Is the failure in the upper stage? Or is it something in the payload?

Were all of the payloads affected?

No failure in the upper stage. It is the payload.
