Send your name to the moon
While it’s highly unlikely any of us will actually travel to the moon, you can send your name there aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The LRO is being sent to orbit the moon to scout for landing sites, potential resources, measure radiation levels and demonstrate new technology. NASA is collecting names which will be placed onboard the spacecraft. What do you get out of it, aside from knowing you’ll be part of mankind’s historic return to the moon in some small way? A lovely printable certificate suitable for framing of course. Deadline is July 25th.

I got my certificate! I would have preferred they etched it on there with a really big freakin’ laser, but I don’t think it’s in NASA’s budget.
