SWAMP WITCH GUITARS GOES TO SPACE / MARS (SERIOUSLY)

Swamp witch guitars goes to space / mars

Earlier this year NASA announced the opportunity to get your name put on a dime size chip , on a craft that would be sent to orbit , space , asteroids , and eventually Mars .

“”””NASA is inviting the public to send their names on a microchip to destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, including Mars.

Your name will begin its journey on a dime-sized microchip when the agency’s Orion spacecraft launches Dec. 4 on its first flight, designated Exploration Flight Test-1. After a 4.5 hour, two-orbit mission around Earth to test Orion’s systems, the spacecraft will travel back through the atmosphere at speeds approaching 20,000 mph and temperatures near 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

But the journey for your name doesn’t end there. After returning to Earth, the names will fly on future NASA exploration flights and missions to Mars. With each flight, selected individuals will accrue more miles as members of a global space-faring society.

"NASA is pushing the boundaries of exploration and working hard to send people to Mars in the future,” said Mark Geyer, Orion Program manager. "When we set foot on the Red Planet, we’ll be exploring for all of humanity. Flying these names will enable people to be part of our journey."

The deadline for receiving a personal “boarding pass” on Orion’s test flight closes Friday Oct. 31. The public will have an opportunity to keep submitting names beyond Oct. 31 to be included on future test flights and future NASA missions to Mars.

"fark .. i spammed mars !"

THIS ^^^^ made it for me...

You know, there are some folks here on Earth that are paranoid of us finding a planet populated only by robots. When you think about it, there really is one - Mars. AND WE CREATED IT!
