   According to the paper they will fit >10,000 "remains" into a 300 lb
capsule (including capsule weight). That puts your average 150 lb body
down to less than .03 lbs. Talk about compession!

   The scary part is look at what history tells us about civilizations that
start spending significate portions of their GNP on burials and gravestones.
They all seem to collapse shortly after.
