Totally Cool! :thumbsup :)

They have dvd players in mars? :glugglug

NASA had an online system setup where any American citizen could inscribe your name on the DVD going to Mars. I put mine and my son's on there.

Since I doubt humans will be exploring my Mars in my lifetime at least a piece of me is already up there for all time which is a cool feeling.

The same DVD is on Opportunity as well which lands in 3 more weeks.

There's another pic of the DVD loaded on board during pre-launch (where the red arrow is).

They didn't charge you for this service did they?Looks cool and a neat concept but Who's going to view it? Martians ?

No it was free. 3 1/2 Million people participated.

I look at it this way. If a big meteor ever hits Earth and everything gets oblitarated at least a record of myself and my son's existence are safely "backed up" on Mars now.

Yea... my names there too. I remember adding my name a long time ago.... damn. It seems like yesterday. Its also kinda cool to see how fast time flys by.

that is kewl :)

I wanted to send a cd backup of my sites, but they wouldnt let me.

That will be the next big thing, send server backups to mars.

it mustn't be the 1st time doing it because i remember putting my name on nasa.com back in 97 or 98 for the same purpose.

How did you do that bubble in the pic - photoshop?

No just a quick talk bubble using CompuPic PRO. The best photo management software around. It also has some nice basic enhancement features. Its not Photoshop by any means, but it comes in handy for batch changes, fast image enhancement when I don't have time for a full Photoshop job, etc.

You can get it here:

Its one of my favorite programs and I've been using it for many years.

Talk about offshore!

The cast of the 60's TV show Lost In Space. I remember growing up wanting to be like Will Robinson and traveling all over space in the Jupiter 2.
