YOUR NAME ON RED PLANET MARS!

Here's a reminder that you can add you name to a microchip that should be on course for Mars in 2011.

The chip will be carried on the NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), a six-wheel rover that will check whether Mars ever was, or still is, an environment able to support microbial life.

The MSL is a bigger and more sophisticated machine than the present Spirit and Opportunity rovers that have been crawling around on the Martian surface since 2004. The picture above compared the old and new designs, with MSL shown on the left.

Here's the NASA/JPL link to add your name to the chip, here.
