Do you ever think of plan a trip to moon? You have to pay billions of dollar to make such kind of space trip! Wow, this is ridiculous. But now, we could send our name to the Moon. Free!

Who Send Your Name to the Moon?

According to NASA, this is called Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) “Send Your Name to the Moon” Project.

LRO project (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) is the first mission in NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration, a plan to return to the moon and then to travel to Mars and beyond. It will launch in late 2008 with the objectives to finding safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology.

With this project launch, NASA is collecting names to be send to the Moon. Names will be collected and placed onboard on the LRO spacecraft.

How to Send Your Name to the Moon?

It is easy. Browse to LRO project site, key in your first name and last name. Click on “Add Name” button, that’s it.

LRO allows you to print the cert to show your participantion and support. You may print out the certificate for souvinier if you want to. It’s not a bad idea to print out and laminate as a nice gift for friends or love ones.

The deadline is June 27, 2008 for the submission of names. So please act fast before the deadline.

My two cents

Yeah! Our names will be send out to the Moon end of this year. I know this does not mean anything, but it is FUN! Of course, its also Free!

I have add name for my wife, my baobei and myself as well as AhTim.com to the LRO project. You grandson might see my name there if they collect the chip on moon during their trip in future. Who knows?

Please tell me you have send whose names to the Moon?
