Or for the $10K price, your aerodynamic urn gets covered with Shuttle tile material, such that you reenter in one piece. At the location of your choice. Perfect for the rich uncle that would like to drop in, unnannouced of course, to visit the relatives at the reading of his will. Be nice to Old Uncle Charlie, --Tom
