FREE: Send Your Name to the Sun on the Parker Solar Probe @ NASA

2210

“Be a part of the first mission to touch the Sun! Submit your name and it will be included in a memory card that will fly aboard Parker Solar Probe spacecraft. Come with us as we plunge through the Sun's atmosphere, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions—and ultimately providing humanity with the first-ever close-up view of a star. Submissions will be accepted through April 27, 2018.” Enjoy :)

    Do they send a card reader too so that aliens can read my name?

    • Yes they do, along with your address details, a phone with latest google maps, and info about your 'preferred-probe' :)

    Wonders…..is this a sneaky sales ploy by solar panel installers!!

  • This is really cool. My son will be so excited when I tell him he is signed up for this. A Great idea for building awareness to this mission and excitement for general space exploration!

  • Just signed up my newborn daughter. It beats paying for a star with your name and who knows however many other people who are stupid enough to pay for the certificate.

  • i thought it was really hard to plunge stuff into the sun, eg, shooting garbage from earth into the sun was prohibitively expensive.

    Why does the sun need my email address?

  • why would anyone care about their name essentially a few 0s and 1s being sent to the sun on sd card?

  • Is there cash rewards?

    • No but…
      Xbox Achievement Unlocked: Burn in Hell.

  • Aliens living on the sun going to abduct everyone on that list.

    • Faeros living on the sun going to abduct everyone on that list.

  • So far my family's names are on Mars, an asteroid, Orion test launch. Now we're off to the sun.

  • I'm scared that aliens might try identity theft

  • …Just had a romantic thought, I'll include my girlfriend's and my own name and send them to our local star.

    Then I thought, do I really want to send our names into a hellish abyss to face a million degree fiery death??

    Mmm pass on that romantic gesture….

    I've already had a previous girlfriend do that.
