Since most of us will probably never fly into space, NASA will provide you with the next best thing. A chance to send your name into space and have it spinning around that big chunk of rock orbiting Earth, we call the Moon. Until June 27, 2008 anyone willing to subscribe in the 'Name to the Moon' program can access the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter website and enter their name. The information you have provided will be automatically saved into a database and incorporated into a chip that will be placed on board the LRO.

Now you can point to the moon and tell your kids... "Papa got his name on that thing"
