At this time,
NASA is not sending people there, just
LRO and
LCROSS. But you can send a little part of yourself there...
your name.
The
Send Your Name to the Moon Web site enables everyone to participate in NASA's lunar adventure and place their names in orbit around the Moon for years to come. Participants can submit their information at
http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/, print a certificate and have their name entered into a database. The database will be placed on a microchip that will be integrated onto the LRO spacecraft. The deadline for submitting names is June 27, 2008.
While you're online, check out the new videos on the LRO mission page:
