I mean, haha silly funny time, but it was a person, Phillip Chapman, an astronaut's remains. Please show some respect.

Spewing that much poison into the atmosphere for superstitious reasons is not worthy of respect, no matter who they were when they were alive.

The spacecraft was actually part of a ride share, with lots of other payloads, so the launch was for a lot of reasons.
