Windows 10 was great since 2016. They really didn't rock the boat with it.

Windows 11 is playing around with aesthetics over function too much. Like Windows 8 and Windows Vista, this has only led to stability issues.

There's a reason why people loved XP, 7, and 10. Just a stable OS and no fuss trying to be fancy.

It's angular momentum. The rotation starts when gravity begins pulling objects together. They have different masses and speeds so eventually they collapse into a sphere like a planet or star. These initial energies combine into a single moving object, which eventually goes from erratic chaotic rotations to one unified rotation over time.

Then anything of lesser mass will be pulled into the plane of rotation. So everything in the solar system eventually aligns to the same flat plane thanks to the sun's mass and rotation.

Same thing happens at larger scales, where galaxies are roughly flat.

Keep in mind that nebulae and elliptical galaxies exist as well. Under different circumstances things don't always turn out so flat.

No, those are all obstacles we've already overcome with space probes. Biggest obstacle is just time.

Also I didn't realize your question was about sending a dead body out of the solar system lol

We've sent probes outside of the solar system already. Wouldn't be hard to send an inert coffin the same way.

The body would be subject to the same laws of physics as anything else. Assuming an airtight seal, it would experience minor degradation as it would allow microorganisms present to decompose it for a time before death. A non-airtight seal allows particles to escape, and assuming all microorganisms present die, the body would remain in a preserved state. There would be nothing left to continue the process of decomposition.

Biggest obstacle for leaving the solar system is time. We have the technology to travel across space. We just won't get anywhere in the same lifetime. This is why most science fiction solves this problem with warp drives to teleport across vast distances, cryostasis to wait it out, or use generational ships (where the crew's grandchildren are the ones who arrive at the destination). We currently do not have viable versions of those sci-fi solutions. So the biggest obstacle is overcoming the long trip duration.
