Papernauts: Send Your Name To The Moon
NASA’s new service is here to take anyone to the moon! Anyone can qualify as age, physical abilities or other issues are now in the past. But there is a small problem, only your name can go to the next lunar mission!
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is set to go and collect data for future possible landing and outpost sites for the Constellation program. It is going to carry a chip, with peoples names, and float around the universe for ever as the LRO will never return to Earth. The good thing is that you will be entitled to a nice NASA certificate that shows that your name is somewhere out there!

Lunar Legacy: Send Your Picture to the Moon
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.
This 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.
