Hey Space Placers!           I'm a Frequent Flyer with NASA as I have flown my name on a lot of NASA missions and I have a crater on Mars with my name on it as well as our beloved and deceased dog. Now is your chance to sign up to send your name to Mars with NASA's InSight Mars Lander that is due to launch in 2016. It's easy and fun to do. And let's face it, you and I will probably never get to Mars in person. BUT our names will be there ON MARS! Sky Guy in VA P.S. THANK YOU to the 2.5 MILLION WUTSP viewers! Quite a milestone for a DIY blog - I am grateful & humble for your readership.......

Hey Space Placers!    Just the other day (4/29/13) I blogged about how to send your name on a JAXA spacecraft to an asteroid.    NASA has just begun to accept submissions for its' next mission to Mars.   Learn about how to get your name to Mars AND the MAVEN mission: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2013/may/HQ_13-125_MAVEN_Name_to_Mars.html http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/maven/ Sky Guy in VA
