Send your name to the Moon aboard LRO !

NASA invites people of all ages to join the lunar exploration journey with an opportunity to send their names to the moon aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO spacecraft.

The Send Your Name to the Moon Web site enables everyone to participate in the lunar adventure and place their names in orbit around the moon for years to come.

Participants can submit their information at
http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/, print a certificate and have their name entered into a database.

The database will be placed on a microchip that will be integrated onto the spacecraft. The deadline for submitting names is June 27, 2008.

There appears to be nothing to stop you putting your Amateur Radio call sign in as well.
