So, who wants to go to the Moon?

So, who wants to go to the Moon?

Postby Senor Hugo » Mon May 05, 2008 6:40 am

NASA wants to send you to the moon, no tests or anything like that.

Well not the physical you, but your name.

NASA invites people of all ages to join the lunar exploration journey with an opportunity to send their names to the moon aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, spacecraft.

The Send Your Name to the Moon Web site enables everyone to participate in the lunar adventure and place their names in orbit around the moon for years to come. Participants can submit their information at http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/, print a certificate and have their name entered into a database. The database will be placed on a microchip that will be integrated onto the spacecraft. The deadline for submitting names is June 27, 2008.

"Everyone who sends their name to the moon, like I'm doing, becomes part of the next wave of lunar explorers," said Cathy Peddie, deputy project manager for LRO at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "The LRO mission is the first step in NASA's plans to return humans to the moon by 2020, and your name can reach there first. How cool is that?"

The orbiter, comprised of six instruments and one technology demonstration, will provide the most comprehensive data set ever returned from the moon. The mission will focus on the selection of safe landing sites and identification of lunar resources. It also will study how the lunar radiation environment could affect humans.

The mission will support future human exploration while providing a foundation for upcoming science missions. LRO is scheduled for launch in late 2008.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is being built at Goddard. The mission also will be managed at the center for NASA's Explorations Systems Mission Directorate in Washington.

Send Your Name to the Moon is a collaborative effort among NASA, the Planetary Society in Pasadena, Calif., and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md.


This is pretty cool, with the certificate and all. For those parents with young kids, this would be something damn awesome to be able to tell them about.

Ah crap, that figures, and makes sense. An hour after I signed up, people representing some organization, Strategic Homeland Invasion Espionage thingy-ma-jigger. I thought I saw David Hasslehoff sitting in a black suburban, though he had a cigar and an eye-patch.

It was weird.

They asked some questions, mostly about my "gift." I told them it was for my friends birthday, but I don't think they believed me.

But thats ok, they didn't find my secret stash of radioactive candy-corn so I continue protecting the world as....



CANDY MAN!

Though they said they would be watching....


aw, crud.
