Send Your Name Around Moon in 2026 on NASA’s Artemis II Mission (Receive Boarding Pass with your Name) @ NASA

1020

Hey everyone! Similar to previous deals. Some will say that these is not a deal. But definitely a deal for young kids or adults that are interested in space.

NASA is inviting the public to join the agency’s Artemis II test flight as four astronauts venture around the Moon and back to test systems and hardware needed for deep space exploration. As part of the agency’s “Send Your Name with Artemis II” effort, anyone can claim their spot by signing up before Jan. 21.

Participants will launch their name aboard the Orion spacecraft and SLS (Space Launch System) rocket alongside NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

“Artemis II is a key test flight in our effort to return humans to the Moon’s surface and build toward future missions to Mars, and it’s also an opportunity to inspire people across the globe and to give them an opportunity to follow along as we lead the way in human exploration deeper into space,” said Lori Glaze, acting associate administrator, Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

The collected names will be put on an SD card loaded aboard Orion before launch. In return, participants can download a boarding pass with their name on it as a collectable.

As part of a Golden Age of innovation and exploration, the approximately 10-day Artemis II test flight, launching no later than April 2026, is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign. It is another step toward new U.S.-crewed missions on the Moon’s surface that will help the agency prepare to send the first astronauts – Americans – to Mars.

    Here's the 'boarding pass' for those that just want to see what it's like: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/255280/124785/boarding…

    • Thanks!

    • Would be cool to print out like boarding passes of olde.

        Nah, the print will have faded so much by the time they launch (if ever). This way can be saved digitally as a reminder of "what their dreams once were". :-) I suspect others will have gone in advance.

        • 3i Atlas is currently on its way to the moon to collect the names from the last batch of NASA sends.

          This guy is still angry Santa didn’t bring what he asked for, so jaded bloke!!!

    • Was hoping for a rickroll :(

    I sent my name a few years ago, hopefully by the time we migrate there, everyone would know who I am

      My children or perhaps my children's children will take great pleasure sliding into Oh Daddy Crater.

    I don't want my personal information out in space and be the first one aliens spam, or worse, probe.

      Don’t worry, Insent mine last time a few years ago, no one has called me
      back yet :(

        Where do you think all those No Caller ID calls are from when they just hang up when you answer?

    So many delays.

    They should just send a bunch of Artemis quotes from IASIP. Like: "I have a bleached (profanity)"

  • +4

    How is this a deal?

    Your name goes on an SD card. Might as well just broadcast your name by radio wave, then print it out.

    What the hell, lets try adding Al Kyder and Terry Wrist to the flight.

    • It inspires children's sense of wonder. That's priceless!

      • They is a rocket ship going around the moon.
        If that doesn't inspire wonder, nothing will.

    At least with the Mars missions, they engraved your name with a laser. This mission just puts your name on an SD card.

    • +2

      Yeah I thought with this one that they were just going to inscribe them on like a micro dot or something, but on an SD card seems super scummy. Better hope it's well shielded and doesn't go through an inconveniently placed magnetic field. Not that we'd ever know.

      "Yep here's a photo of the SD card - your names are definitely on it."

      • +1

        Better hope it's well shielded and doesn't go through an inconveniently placed magnetic field.

        SD cards aren't affected by magnetic fields, the data is stored as incredibly small electric charges.

        SD cards are definitely affected by ionizing radiation though, and there's loads of ionizing radiation in space.

        seems super scummy

        Lol touch grass. You don't have to do it. 😂

      • I wouldn't say it's scummy. Just a bit lame

    • So uh, bummer if they forgot to add the SD card because they needed to cut another 6 grams of weight.

    • +1

      If engraving is displacing (or modifying) then these names are engraved too - by electrons rather than photons, into charge states rather than spatial (or chemical) states, and a bit smaller and digitally encoded too.

      It's all just a matter of perception.

  • So they finally remembered how to get the moon?

    • Or discovered…

    • Ron Howard wants a sequel. You don't say no to a friend of Fonzie.

    So, are they gonna fake this again…

  • Go to the Spanish speaking site and the ICE guys turn up.

  • One-Way please! You can jettison me between light and dark preferably in a crater 🥳

    Kubrick is dead, who they going to get to direct this?

  • You know how data is stored in fragments rather than a continuous string, I'm sure my name is already on the card as an anagram of somwone else's.

  • SpaceX really makes flying to the moon look hard when they can't even get into space without their spaceships spontaneously deconstructing themselves. Safe flight to the astronauts.

  • HODL'ng for the mission to send my name outside the galaxy…

    • Username seems suspicious… 👽

  • Hope they use High Endurance card and it is not fake one from 3rd party seller on Amazon.

  • While individual people are still struggling to fly on Earth, you need to ask for permission to fly in US even though it's in your backyard. Freedom.

  • If you pay money for this, your vulnerability may put you on the Prince of Nigeria's mailing list.

  • Not free and not around the moon but with the following deal you can send much more things into space including pics and videos of whatever you want. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/starlink-mini

  • The Commander-in-Chief will be there too.

  • Shouldn't this be put in the travel category? Lol
