Send your names to Mars with the NASA InSight lander

August 20, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 2 Comments

 

In 2016 NASA is sending a silicon microchip with the InSight lander and it will contain all the names of everyone who signs up for a "boarding pass" on the project's website. The InSight lander was designed to drill deep into the surface of Mars to study the planet's interior for the first time. It'll take a number of instruments with it to accomplish that, including a seismometer to monitor Martian earthquakes.

If you signed up to fly your name aboard the Orion spacecraft for its test flight last year, you'll just have to log in to earn "frequent flier points." If you didn't, just go sign up and you… the process is easy.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
