Too Cool!

     Some NASA PR type has created a great little almost no- cost scheme.
     Want your name to travel to Mars? And come back?
    Sign up for a free boarding pass and your name will be included on a list that will be
traveling to MARS and back...soon.


Your name will begin its journey on a dime-sized microchip when the agency’s Orion spacecraft launches Dec. 4 on its first flight, designated Exploration Flight Test-1. After a 4.5 hour, two-orbit mission around Earth to test Orion’s systems, the spacecraft will travel back through the atmosphere at speeds approaching 20,000 mph and temperatures near 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
And then to MARS any beyond!

Here's the sign up page...and you even get frequent space flyer miles (-:
