Send Your Name To A Comet

[Empath]

NASA will be launching a rocket in December, 2004, to collide with Comet Temple 1 in May, 2005. Here's your chance to submit your name to be placed on a CD that will be carried to the comet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

some alien race might get their hands on the disc.

we'll be abducted for sure!

That's neat. I didn't go to all the links. Do they anticipate the CD will survive? I found the lines from the bottom interesting also.

If we had the capabilities to greater affect the far reaches of the solar system, no doubt on reaching the farthest solar body we'd find whatever beauty it holds to be marred where someone had scratched "Kilroy was here" on it's surface. I may not fully understand that human characteristic, but this gives you the chance to send the digital equivalent to the farthest reaches of the solar system. You can't get much closer to the edge of the solar system than the path of a comet.
