Send your name to Mars!

An Fear Aniar

Fill in your information on the page and your name will be included with others on a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory rover heading to Mars in 2011!

http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/participate/sendyourname/index.html

You'll get a certificate you can download as well. I gave my postcode as WD40...:cool:

Great find! Pity it's on a microchip though and you don't get to send a message...but I won't complain (except for that)! I hope they make them weather proof so they'll last long enough for me to see them when I go there.

My name is URL

Awesome

Its good to see stuff like that happening, even if it is meaningless

NASA are long overdue in recapturing people's hearts

Ma said my name would go far. She was right!
Can't wait to tell her!

You can't download the cert with "save image as" but I made the broswer fullscreen with F11 and took a screenshot. The image on that page is not the full page, it's only a banner at the top.

Lets see how many Irish we can get on the chip:

So far there's 380.

"Ctrl" and "+" or "-" to reduce or inlarge the screen
Then screen grab, paste into "Paint" then for example and print off.

...or you could just use "Faststone Capture". Does the job in seconds.

I know this is a really stupid question, but there's IR and IE. What's IR?

EDIT: It appears to be Iran. They're in 5th place with nearly 7000 names. How odd!

I'll sign my name "My Ass." That way I can get my ass to mars.

I assume they're the internet domains, so IE = Éire. Maybe IR is Iran?

It's all a conspiracy.
They'll get to all the planets eventually (on a sound stage) and discover he planted flags on them all long ago.

Waste of time, space radiation will zap the chip.:rolleyes:

Elessar

I already put my name on mars a few years ago through some other robot that went up. All names went on a disc I think - cant for the life of me remember what mission it was though.

galwayrush

Lost in space.:rolleyes:

Number fo ways but the easiest to start off with is press "Print Screen" - it will be a button on your keyboard, usually on the top right somewhere.

Press it, then go into the likes of Paint and "paste" it.
