Woohooo im going to mars

For those who don't know already.
A little while ago i was looking on NASA's site and i've found this. http://mars9.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/partic...name/index.cfm

I thought it was pretty cool especially for my 2 yr old son and hubby. You can even print out a little certificate.

Yeah seems to be broken.

I did this for the New Horizons probe to Pluto, put myself, the wife and the kid's names down. Got a little certificate as well which is cool.

I hope some alien doesn't find the info and come find me

sorry guys, the only other link i can find is http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/ and then click the link down the bottom to send your name to mars, but doing this is only giving me an internal server error. Hopefully theyll fix it soon.... Keep trying guys.

Okay this link is working again now, just scroll down the bottom of the page and click on the send your name to mars link, input your name and your off. You'll even get a certificate to print. Nice for the kiddies, but i have to admit i got a little excited myself .

enjoy guys
