Similar deal to these.

Why are you reopening this opportunity?
There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the Mars 2020 mission and its Perseverance rover, which will carry the names of 10.9 million people aboard. However, since the Mars 2020 opportunity closed, many people have since expressed interest in sending their name to Mars. For those who missed the chance to fly their names on Perseverance, we want to give them the chance to sign up to fly their names on a future mission to Mars.

Who sees my name and email address?
All names are reviewed by a team of people at NASA and then sent to the microchip manufacturer. Your email is only used to allow you to track your Frequent Flyer participation, and to receive notifications of "Send Your Name to Mars" events, such as launch or landing. See our Privacy Policy Statement for more information.

        My boarding pass literally says July 2026. So I assume that's when my name on a microchip will depart for Mars haha!

        • scottm3 on 05/07/2020 - 19:56

        You must have put your name in before 30 Sep 2019. They took 10.9 million names for the Perseverance launch. Anyone who has submitted their names after that goes on with the next mission (currently 10217 new reservations).

      Not sure why you were downvoted. You gain more frequent flyer points if you have multiple boarding passes :D

    Would Aliens also adhere to NSSA privacy policy and not send me junk mail of some Martian Prince trying to send me some money.

  • bargainhunter on 05/07/2020 - 19:51

    How many names will an $87 400gb micro SD hold? 10.9mil seems a bit limited.

    • klownvandamn on 05/07/2020 - 20:18

      1 character is 1 byte. You do the math.

      • adamiscoolization on 05/07/2020 - 20:50

        1 character can be 4 bits

        Edit: I am wrong. Modern references to characters are 8 bits/1 byte.

        Use 7zip.
        Text compresses very well.

        The Martians will assume those identities.

      10.9 million people; if your name starts with an 'A' and they do it by alphabetical order then you might not have to wait so long…

    This is great for kids and families.
    Please don't spam with fake names. Memory on the modules is limited and people will miss out.
    And it's still not a deal no matter how many times I am down voted. I'm not aware of this ever being sold as a service and DYI is only possible if your first name is Elon.

    how much frequent flyer points do one accumulate from a trip from Earth to Mars?
    I heard a ticket is worth $1m USD, so it's good that we've started accumulating flyer points in our 20's.
    Now just waiting for Tesla to start a flyer points system and i can convert my Qantas points.

      how are they going to cover this one up?
      there's no weather balloons up there in Mars

  • the Unforgiven on 06/07/2020 - 13:17

    At least it is cooler that the last place I signed up to for NASA, it was for that probe for the sun,
    I can tell you that was not the coolest deal I ever signed up to :p

  • ShipShapeRC on 06/07/2020 - 14:28

    My name went on a CD to mars a long time ago, but it crashed - the probe, not the disk. Well I guess the disk 'crashed' with the probe.

    • ShipShapeRC on 06/07/2020 - 14:34

      Just looked it up. It was polar lander. Nasa says "Mars Polar Lander and Deep Space 2 were lost at arrival December 3, 1999." Another report showed it was 'cheaper, faster, better' mission and the systems were not properly tested together and afterwards they realised that the legs opening during decent made it think it had touched down so it turned off the decent rocket - cheaper, faster, oops.

  • taki on 06/07/2020 - 17:11

    I don't think the Martians read English. Best in hanzi (汉字/漢字)
    I will try with Esperanto

  • daydream on 07/07/2020 - 00:28
