If becoming an astronaut is no longer part of your career plan but you still love to dream of traveling to space, then how about sending your name instead?
NASA is inviting people to submit their name, which will be added to a flash drive and sent on a flyby of the moon on the upcoming Artemis I mission, which is set to take place in the coming months.
To send your name into orbit, simply head to NASA’s website, enter your full name along with a PIN code, and hit “submit.” You’ll then be presented with a boarding pass featuring your name and flight details. It also includes a QR code that links to a NASA webpage inviting you to become a virtual guest at launches and major events linked to its work.
If everything goes to plan, Artemis II will take the same route, but this time with a crew aboard Orion. Following that, Artemis III, which is currently slated for 2025, will aim to land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface in what will be the first crewed moon landing since the final Apollo mission in 1972.
