The lander also contains non-scientific payloads, including DNA from former US presidents, including George Washington, John F Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower, which could now remain in space. The ashes of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, as well as those of former stars of the TV series, are also onboard. Did we not always try as much as possible not to contaminate things in space? And this seems especially pointless, who needs presidential DNA and TV star ash on the moon?
