Rocket Blast Ashes Into Orbit

[the Robot Vegetable]

   Monday, April 21st, a Pegasus rocket carrying the ashes of 24
individuals left Grand Canary Island and carried them into a 2 to
10 year decaying orbit...  Geez, I'd figured they'd have flung 'em 
way out there.   Among the ashes were Timothy Leary, and 
Krafft A. Ehricke, 1917-1984, a former Nazi soldier who became
a US citizen and contributed to space technology.
