what's in a name?
Posted on Saturday, April 08, 2006
Nasa is giving you the opportunity to Send your name to the asteroid belt aboard the Dawn spacecraft. Your name will be recorded onto a microchip that will be placed aboard the spacecraft accompanying it on its mission to the asteroid belt. Dawn plans to visit the two largest asteroids in our solar system's asteroid belt, Ceres and Vesta. I'm not sure exactly what it means to have your name shot into space, but I submitted mine. The nerd side of me is imagining some sort of Star Trek: The Motion Picture incident, hundreds of years from now when 'dam S'ens (instead of V'ger) torments the galaxy and needs an overacting man in a girdle to save the day. Bah, who am I kidding? William Shatner is my hero.
