wasn't nasa's fault it wasn't their rocket. it was a private company launch .
not launched by nasa.

Not according to the article. (?)

The many remains and experiments did Go into space as intended, the problem seems to be finding the capsule after it parachuted back to Earth ... dense vegetation in mountainous terrain.

As for "Scotty" ... I was under the impression his remains were to be sent Out into space, not just rocketed into a sub-orbital trajectory ultimately parachuting back to Earth.

Either way... I hope the parachute(s) opened properly and that this capsule faired better than the comet dust collector.

I hope the parachute didn't fail. A cremated Scotty would be an awful lot of ashes.

Scotty's Ashes Found

The ashes has been recovered.
