NASA will take your name to space in a “Message in a Bottle.”
  • Now’s your chance: The space agency will engrave names in microscopic writing on a dime-size chip to travel on a voyage to one of Jupiter’s moons next year.
  • The mission: To investigate whether the moon Europa is capable of supporting life — and leave a message for extraterrestrial life to someday find. Submit your name here.

I've signed up, thank you! I got my mom's name on the microchip that went with the Mars "Insight" lander in 2018. She was always fascinated with Mars and it was thrilling for her.

I found out last year that they'd found the lunar module from Apollo=11, "Snoopy" -it had been launched into space to take up a complex orbit around the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. I had touched the doorway and the seats on that lander when I worked in the factory where it was made. So traces of my DNA, and now my name, will have gone into space whether I go there in person or not.
