Astronomy / Space Immortalize your name on Mars

[Crazy Joe]

This is maybe a bit off topic, but I'm posting it here anyway because I feel that it doesn't belong in the general off-topic thread.

NASA is offering everyone the opportunity to have their name placed on the Mars 2020 Lander mission. Your name will be engraved on a chip that will be placed inside the lander.
The only thing you need to do is to go to the following website and fill out the form. It even gives you a cool boarding pass and "travel miles".

Nearly 11 Million Names of Earthlings are on Mars Perseverance - NASA Science

When the Perseverance rover safely touched down on the Martian surface, inside Jezero Crater, on Feb. 18, 2021, it was also a safe landing for the nearly 11 million names on board.

So take your chance and immortalize your name so that future Alien archeologists can find it on Mars and puzzle over it's meaning!

So anyone can just type in any name and they'll engrave it on there...

I give this 80 years before it winds up in some human's private collection and another 20 after that before it's broken down for scrap.

I give it 6 weeks before some SJW hippies decide that its racist, transgemderist, going ro ruin the environment and file a lawsuit to block the project and propose instead an eco-firendly railroad to Mars and only allows multicultural names that can serve any of the 89 currently known and 6 suspected and but yet unproven genders.

All aboard!

What's a "multicultural" name? Non Anglo Saxon? Non European? Failing to see the logic but the intent is clear enough.

I'd rather want my ashes sent there one day. Right in the shadowy surroundings of Mons Olympus.
