UP AEROSPACE LAUNCH: A GIANT CANDLE FOR CLOSURE
On 9/11/01 Elaine gathered a small portion of ashes from her car windshield wiper, one mile south of Ground Zero. Six years later the ashes were launched into space. The Las Cruces Sun News wrote about it, and Space.com and The Space Review published an article I wrote, May 2007. See pictures of the launch and listen to The Space Show interview. Here's another Space.com article about the same launch, in general (unrelated to 9/11).
