Send your name to the moon!

Maybe you personally will never get to go to the moon, but that doesn't mean you can't send your name. NASA is inviting folks to submit their names to be sent to the moon via the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft.

If you visit http://www.nasa.gov/lro you'll be asked to put your first and last name in a form. When you've done that you'll get a link for a certificate of participation you can fill out.

And what happens to your name? It's put on a database, which itself is put on a microchip and integrated into the LRO spacecraft. And off your name goes into space! The deadline for adding your name is June 27, though, so don't wait too long...
