I have always had a fascination about space. I remember watching Alan Sheppard's first sub-orbital flight, I remember watching Ginger Baker ducking behind the curtain between songs on Cream's final US tour in 1969 and then after one of the curtain ducks announcing "You Yanks just landed a man on the moon."

The APL at Johns Hopkins University is collecting names to be stored on a chip that will be part of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO.) The LRO's objectives are to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology.

Link to LRO project details: http://lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov/

Link to send your name: http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/index.php

If you sign up your name will be placed on their list and you will receive a numbered certificate of participation. (You print it on your printer.)

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is built and managed by NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center for NASA. "Send Your Name to the Moon" Project is a partnership with NASA, the LRO Project, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Planetary Society.

Hurry the deadline is June 27, 2008.
