In 1972 Charles Duke during his trip to the moon left behind a picture of him and his family. Today, after 36 years, the photograph remains intact for the generations to come.

Today the X-Prize foundation, Google and the “Lunar Legacy” program, give us the possibility for anyone to send his photos on the moon for only $10.

funny-dogThis time our photos will be all put into a DVD (or more if that is what it takes). Although in the pas there have been moon missions where a range of multimedia has been left behind, this is the first time that Internet users will have the chance to send something of theirs.

Till now there are about 500 photos gathered for the next moon trip.

I wonder who will be the one to see the DVD over there? I don’t think the aliens are so advance, they are probably still using VHS.

Anyway if you have $10 to spare give them as its for a good cause; the funding of space exploration.
