Fill in your information below and your name will be included with others on a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory rover heading to Mars in 2011!

Someone should put Richard Stallman's name on it.

We'd need his permission first. ;)

I'm sure they're all big boys and quite capable of typing their own names.

Better idea, send them to the link, if you're so worried about them not being included.

Sealbhach,

Excellent find, thanks for sharing.

Why isn't he released under GNU-GPL?

Nice one. Did it. ;)

Is the chip going to be left behind on the Red Planet?

It's a rover mission, all the equipment is left there.


Is the list of names so the aliens know who to kill first? Or save for last?

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's best to be on the safe side.

I, for one, welcome our new Alien overlords.

NASA did this a few years back with some kind of space probe. My name is at this very minute flying through the howling emptiness that is the void between worlds. Mine, however, includes the middle name "AliensAreSexy".

I was hoping at the time to find some cute, green alien chick who'd want me. Now I'm in a happy relationship, but if she's young enough we could maybe adopt her as a daughter. Hmmm... Have to ask my better half about that. :shock: :p

You can only send their names unfortunately.
