Last year, somewhere around september 2009, NASA Mars Science Laboratory Rover carried thousands of names of people in its
onboard embedded microchip. They believed every individual has the rights to be a part of History!
True to their statement, NASA has announced that it is currently accepting Names and/or Photos of individuals to be embedded into its Two Shuttles, STS-133(Discovery) and STS-134(Endeavor) that are set to launch in september and november 2010 respectively. You are given the opportunity to submit your name on either of these rovers and even get a "Special" Certificate to show it off to your friends later. At the time of writing, 157,041 have participated already worldwide, majority of which is the US counting to 67k. I submitted mine, adding one count more to the 10K participants from India ;)You dont wanna be left behind now, would you? Hurry up and fly your photo to outer space!
