Send your name to Mars

I just stumbled on this campaign NASA is currently doing. Next year, the latest Mars rover is scheduled to depart for the red planet, and you can submit your name to be etched on a silicate chip that will be carried along with the rover.

It looks like over 7 million people, including yours truly, have already signed up to be part of this mission and carry on Oppy's legacy.

If you're interested, you can head over here to sign up until September 30th.

Is NASA so underfunded that it has stooped to glorified begging of the vaungloirouses of the world?

Well, as they don't seem to be charging for this. I would say no.

I don't want my name on Mars, martians will find out about me

Apparently, as of time of reading 1300 people from North Korea have submitted their names

Imagine that, lol. As fun as it sounds, I can't even get my name on a damn guest list these days, much less Mars.

*Cough* spelling errors there and there.
Can NASA be any cuter with its promotional material?
