A U.S. Marine and his wife hope to send their son's ashes to the moon. The Celestis Destiny Flight will launch from Cape Canaveral in 2023.
Scott and Cori Gallagher lost their 11-year-old son, Matthew, unexpectedly in May.
The Gallagher family said Matthew's biggest dream was to become an astronaut. He loved space, aviation and technology. Matthew's parents want to help their son fulfill his biggest dream of becoming an astronaut. They found Celestis Memorial Spaceflights. The Destiny flight is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral in 2023. The flight would bring Matthew's ashes to space and he would be buried on the surface of the moon."Anybody who loses a child would do anything to fulfill their dream so we knew that we needed to do something space related," said Cori.
