NASA invites you to submit your name to be included on a microchip that will be sent to Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, scheduled to launch in 2011. Mars Science Laboratory is a rover that will assess whether Mars ever was, or still is, an environment able to support microbial life.



The "Send Your Name to Mars" Web page enables anyone to take part in the mission by sending his or her name to the Red Planet. Participants can print a certificate of participation and view a map showing where other contributors are from.



To submit names, visit http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/participate/sendyourname/.

How interesting!

Anyone going to send their name to Mars?

Wow thanx David!

What a wonderful concept. I plan to send in all of the names of my family, that is if it's permitted. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, do you plan to submit your name?


Alisa, I can't help but think of my fav Beetles song, you know it & how it applies! I do realize we are talking about a much smaller scale though, but still.
