Next July, NASA will be launching a new Mars 2020 Rover and this time we're all invited. NASA is offering people all over the world the opportunity to send their names to Mars via the new rover.
The 2020 rover will land on Mars in February 2021. So far, more than 8.5 million people have submitted their names for the Mars mission. It's easy to do and doesn't cost a cent.
You have until September 30, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, to submit your name for a chance to have it taken to Mars. NASA has not said how many names it will accept.
If you're lucky enough to be selected, an electron beam will stencil your name onto a silicon chip with lines of text smaller than one-thousandth the width of a human hair.
NASA states that at that size, more than 1 million names can be written on a single coin-sized chip. More than one chip could be sent along.
The space agency added that the chip, or chips, will ride on the rover under a glass cover as the vehicle makes its way around Mars.
