Virgin Galactic completed yet another flight, sending three passengers and an instructor to the edge of space.

One of the passengers carried ancient human fossils into space aboard the VSS Unity.

The fossils included some from Australopithecus sediba, Homo naledi, an ancient-human species that lived 250,000 years ago .

Archaeologists say that the move put the remains in danger and could have led to the loss of one of the key identifying references for A. sediba.
