Send your name to Jupiter on NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The mission is scheduled to launch in 2024 on a journey to explore Jupiter's ocean moon – the next frontier in our search for life beyond Earth. Your name will be etched onto a microchip and mounted on the spacecraft along with a poem by the U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón.

Quite worthwhile, assuming there is life that can decipher the chip's message in the Jupiter moon's ocean. :icon-smile:

My name's getting out to the solar system; I've been to a lot of places since 2012. Too bad in name only!

Thanks Clinton, hope all is good with you :D

Interesting article on why you should send your name on the Europa clipper craft.
I know a lot of folks think it's a waste of time.
Interesting new perspective in the article.
I think it's just a bit of fun and have put my name onto several craft in the past.
