@comrade_Comrade you mean the Donner Dinner Party, as in where many people went in search of gold, but many of them got killed, eaten, and died of natural causes, and what not along the way? i mean, i don't know what would make it easier than making astronaut hákarl, nor do i see if you mean the hard conditions, or how hard it would be to make that happen again, but uh, i think i'd stick to the astronaut hákarl if i ha to choose between the two.
either that or you meant something completely different.
'@potatoe4life' yes, I've meant that Donner party. Hakarl requires preparation process, which is wasteful both on Mars and in transit to Mars. Also entire point of it is to make toxic meat of Greenland shark somewhat safe to eat, which is not an issue with human, uh... tissue.
Also I wasn't serious.
I'd say in transit to Mars I'd consider burial in space more appropriate - just give it a good push and have an extra course correction (or two) soon after, so the corpse won't have a chance to catch up with spacecraft. On Mars it maybe easier to just bury the body in a spacesuit, desiccation by exposure to atmosphere or vacuum may prevent pressure buildup from decomposition.
To be clear: the Donner-Reed party was crossing the Sierra Nevada in 1846-47, well before the California Gold Rush which started January 1848. They were stranded high in the mountains due to an early snow, dug in, and lasted about 4 months before anyone who could help came along. They started with 87... and ended with 48.
@DarkMage7280 *Cracks Throught door* Hello do you have time to talk about Colahocism? I tried once make religion out of coca cola and I say thats a good name.
Freeze dried human remains stored in coffee containers is a temporary soloution, could they use them as fertilizer, we do after all contain 3.4% Nitrogen and 0.4% Potassium.
Well, sweden is right; if you dont put sentimental value on old bags of inedible meat. Norway is just taking it a step further, as the dusted remains can easily be turned into fertilizer and thus become "food" (I sincerly hope he didnt mean to eat the body itself... for health reasons)
Repatriation and such is just a silly idea thought of by silly people with silly beliefs.
@VeryCreativeName Really if you keep away from the brain and liver the largest problem remaining is minor amounts of residual medicine and quicksilver. The brain really being the only major issue.
Welp, There Sweden goes again. I mean...i would do the same...Shaking something untill its dust sounds...kinda fun...H-Heh...I-Im not t-the only one, right? B-Being stuck in a bunker h-hasnt messed me up to much right?
