Send Your Name to the Moon

By Alex in Science & Tech on Jul 6, 2008 at 4:18 pm

Psst! Wanna send your name to the moon? NASA is setting up a website where you can enter your name, which will then be entered in a database on a microchip that will be integrated onto the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The deadline for submitting your name is July 25, 2008 – and the LRO is scheduled to launch in late 2008: LinkThanks Kays Kadar!

    Unless it involves carving my name on the moon’s surface with a giant laser, I’m not interested.

    No way. I wouldn´t like to imagine some aliens laughing at my name.

    I foresee thousands of entries for Haywood Jablome and Amanda Hugenkiss.

    There was no need for me to submit, as a past follower of the Grateful Dead, I’ve been in space many times.
