Seeing as we all have at least a vague interest in something space related... I figured you guys might want to join the hordes of people who think it might mean a damn to have thier name fired off towards the stars. Sign up today!

Next time I get access to a printer, I'm signing up for this.  I already got a star named for me (my real one, not Trayus), and I love to do stuff like this. Thanks for the heads up! And by the way......post #100! Huzzah. :D .

I have an asteroid with my last name on it. :D That was something sponsored by MIT for the 40 finalists during the ISTS competition 18 months ago.

A cookie to the person who finds me in there. :D

Anyway, not sure what the point of this is. It's not like it's going into space indefinitely in the hope that other species might find it. Looks like just a PR exercise to me. :p

In other news, aliens blow earth up for prank names sent to them.
