NASA Offering to Fly Your Name Around the Moon

a reply to: Tulpa

....actually, do you think they screen the applicants to make sure they're using their own names?

I doubt it, but you never know...




now for the tinfoil part: Maybe the Aliens in their far-side-of-the-Moon Bases are going to download the information. Who knows, it could be a good thing. Maybe only those specific names will be worth saving.... or maybe that will be the list for the next in line for a good old fashioned anal probing...

spend eternity floating around Uranus.

There's money to be made doing that with ex-es names.

It's a public outreach thing. Bit of publicity, bit of education, bit of 'hey why not'.

My name's on Mars as well, why not send it round the moon

Sounds sort of gimicky to me.

Like that guy who sells the star registry ("Name a star after your partner/sweetheart!")

For some strange reason, Mary Jo Swanson looks very familiar to me, but I can't quite recall where I've seen her before.



I did like this part in the youtube description...
"Just as legitimate as any of the other star "naming" companies."

Problem is Artemis has not flown yet ......

First test launch is scheduled for this year, 5 years and billions of dollars late

From looks of it maybe be late ago . Also chances of sucess dont look good

Also Artemis is projected to cost about 2 billion a launch , which makes it too expensive to use

Would like to see SPACE X take a shot at moon with Dragon capsule flown on FALCON HEAVY

Maybe Jared Isaccman will do it it on upcoming Polaris Dawn mission
