Get your name to Planet Mars with NASA

NASA is again offering the public the chance to have their names flown to Mars in a campaign to draw interest to their next robotic mission to the red planet.

Interested flyers have until November 1 to enter their personal information on the official NASA website, for their names to be put on a microchip and placed inside the InSight lander which will be left on Mars when it lands on the planet on May 2018.

NASA will automatically send flyers a personalized "boarding pass" that could be framed.

"Frequent flyers" or persons who signed up in previous Mars launches may put in their last names and the email they used to sign up with to access their boarding pass.

While deadline has been set for November 1, flyers can still use the website to sign up for future missions after the deadline.

As of writing, 1,188,530 individuals have registered from all over the world, with 10,552 from the Philippines. 

The last "flight" to Mars took place in 2014 with the launch of the Orion spacecraft.

NASA's Mars Exploration Program aims to uncover whether life existed—or continues to exist—on the fourth rock from the sun.

It maintains the Curiosity rover for surface exploration of the Red Planet and is now using it to explore an iron-oxide bearing ridge that has captured the attention of scientists well before the rover's launch in 2012.—LA, GMA News
