Totally BS. It was the last straw for me when they discarded old clothes of the dead people into space. They basically say, "go away, this is a really old Indian mentality that will never die even light years into a futuristic scifi movie". There is no other reason for having that scene. A thing made ONLY for those eyes that are accustomed to seeing dirt and people who take pleasure in unloading their craps on their environment and surroundings
