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: Link – Thanks 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.

    yet another clever prank from the minds of the Johns Hopkins University Lab of Applied Physics.

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