While more than 412,000 names and messages will hopefully be heading towards the Moon tonight onboard Japan's Kaguya spacecraft, you can submit your name again (courtesy of The Planetary Society)...this time onboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter...

Deadline changed to May 1, 2008. LRO should DEFINITELY have a lot more names onboard than Kaguya if this opportunity ends 7 months from now... wink.gif

Odd... That LRO page was taken down. Perhaps Goddard Spaceflight Center changed their mind and didn't want the names of non-rocket scientists gracing their spacecraft? Or having TWO spacecraft orbiting the moon with the names of civilians onboard was a bit superfluous? tongue.gif
