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.

Super cool idea. Gonna get my son registered...he's a model rocket builder and would get a kick out of this. On another note, makes me wonder what the implications of exposing Martians to cbg's will have. Once the Orion program reaches Mars, Ben will be getting an overload of orders for the red planet...and he'll have to use NASA for shipping.

scott ,

lol..   eeek  .  NASA shipping  !!!!  lol  . prolly  still  cheaper than  UK  tho  ;-) 

 cool    about  your  son  ,  once  you  fill out the  new  form     you  will  eventually   get an  email  ..  not   right  away  tho  but  it  will  come  closer to  the next   launch .  .  ;-)

its cool  when  ya stop and  think  a nasa  technician is at   nasa  ,  etching your  son's  name  on a  micro chip  , ..  to  sent   to  space  . as  part of  his  job     .
