The remains of four American presidents are set to be fired into space as part of a scheme to create a “cosmic time capsule”.
Celestis has announced the DNA of founder George Washington will be sent into solar orbit along with Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
The US-based firm says the move will establish the first “human outpost in deep space”, as well as aiming to create an off-world genetic and data storage.
