Mars

Anyone who knows me knows that I love space related things.

I got an e-mail yesterday. Here is the content of said e-mail:

"Your name will be included with others on a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory rover heading to Mars in 2011!

http://mars9.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/participate/sendyourname/index.cfm"

I visited this link and followed the instructions and received a certificate that indicates my name is guaranteed to be on the surface of Mars on a robot's microchips.

It's not super exciting, but I thought that it was pretty neat. I know this is an official site, I have visited before, a long time ago. In fact, this is what made me build a calculator to determine how long it takes radio waves to reach Mars at any given time. Of course I do not have that anymore, I do not have a website that supports php anymore. :-(
