Our Passengers
While it’s impossible to fully summarise a life, we’re honoured to share some of the unique spirits of our passengers. Each memorial page is custom-made for the individual and is replete with quotes, anecdotes, photographs, as well as the incredible memorial video showing their ashes scattered against the stunning backdrop of our planet from space.
"Life is simply a collection of memories,
but memories are like star light... they live on forever."
Peter Gregory Mann
Thank you for being such a wonderful husband,
father and brother. We love you and miss you but
you finally made it to space! We’ll think of you every
time we gaze at the stars. Have fun while you’re up
there - just don’t take the ISS to bits!!
Damion Trevor Barker
10th June 1973 - 14th December 2023
In Loving Memory of our Treasured Son, Brother, Father and Uncle.
Taken from us far too soon, he was a great lover of the outdoors,
He had many friends from childhood, a great lover of music, adept at holding parties, with his brother Kristian, in mum and dads house when away on holiday.
He has 3 brilliant children, daughter, Charlie, son, Dominic and step son Fearghal.
Originally, you wished your ashes, be scattered in a fast flowing River, leading to the sea. Instead, we decided it more fitting, you are scattered across the planet.
Go forth Damion, climb very high and spread across the stratosphere, over time, rejoining, mountains, forests and oceans across the world, and spill on the people wherever they live.

Jonathon Day Holland
19th December 1956 – 7th November 2023
A kind, calm, deep thinker with a powerful mind – both engineer and artist.
A lover of surrealist, black humour with eclectic musical tastes, which he stealthily imparted to and influenced his mother, sisters and children.
A passion for peaceful fishing and high-octane motor racing with an encyclopaedic knowledge of anything that captured his interest.
And a glider pilot, soaring with birds but always looking beyond our skies, seeking to unravel and understand the mysteries of the infinite space that surrounds us.
As the gentle son, the off-beat brother and the comforting, supportive parent, who was both father and best friend; your quiet, patient, capable presence is deafening by its absence.
The greatest farewell we can give you, is to send you into the stars that so captivated you.
Soar free eternally and carry all our love with you.

Matthew William Wood
Enjoy your adventure and reach for the stars as your final wish is fulfilled and you begin your travels around the globe one last time. As a self-confessed geek this journey is no doubt bringing one of those huge smiles to your face! We don’t get to choose our end in life, but we do get to choose how we live, and you certainly led life to the full. Your infectious zest for life filled our lives with so much fun, love and joy and made so many other people smile too.
Fly high Matt, an amazing husband, loving son, devoted father, and all-round AWESOME friend.
We love to you the moon and back, always xxx
Andy Billingham
Andy, We know this is what you wanted since you saw a newspaper clipping in 2011. I hope we have fulfilled your wish and you have a blast circumnavigating space. We will love and miss you always x
Keith Saunders
Keith was an amazing brother, son, uncle, nephew, and friend to those who were close to and knew him and will be dearly missed by us all. He was a passionate gamer/computer enthusiast, avid Sci-Fi and Star Trek fan, and Cat Dad.
As Keith would say “live long and prosper!”
Bob Reynolds
The best dad and grandad
This is the trip you always wished for travelling into space amongst the stars.
The stars will be brighter with you amongst them, and we will know you are up there.
Enjoy your journey, all our love
