A French bulldog named Oscar is sent on what organizers describe as an out-of-this-world farewell after his ashes are launched to high altitude. According to reporting, the cremated remains are placed on a weather balloon and lifted to about 119,000 feet. The launch also includes small items connected to Oscar’s life, including his favorite Toy Story alien toy. A pet GPS tracker is reportedly attached as well, as part of the payload. The articles present the event as a personal memorial that uses a balloon flight rather than a rocket, with the goal of taking the tribute far above the Earth’s surface. While details such as the launch date, exact location, and whether the tracker provides real-time tracking are not included in the provided text, both sources agree on the core elements: Oscar’s ashes, the weather balloon method, the approximate altitude reached, and the inclusion of both a Toy Story alien toy and a GPS tracker in the payload.
