Default Send Your Name into Space with the Kepler Mission

Send Your Name into Space with the Kepler Mission

Quote:
Would you like to send your name into space? Submit your name using the form below an it will be stored on a DVD and rocketed into space on board the Kepler spacecraft.
[...]
Kepler is NASA's first mission capable of detecting Earth-size and smaller planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. The spacecraft is planned to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in February 2009. The spacecraft will be launched into orbit around the Sun, not the Earth, with an orbital period of 372 days. The spacecraft will slowly drift away from the Earth, such that in about 25 years it will be half an Earth orbit away, 300 million kilometers distant from the Earth, passing behind the Sun as viewed from Earth.

The deadline to submit your name is November 1, 2008.

when I applied for the certificate, the error occured while processing the request and no certificate was seen, as there are printing certificate problem. (as they have stated in first paragraph, that some people are facing such a "certificate printing problem".

But such sort of mission is quite nice in finding the people out side of earth, i.e. on different planets, if habitable zones found in the universe, then that day will be the golden day for the people of earth.

If you didn't save a copy to print later, you can probably find a sample copy of a certificate around the Web (like in articles that point you to the name-collector page) and Photoshop in a name and print that.

I'm a little disappointed that there's no way of doing a lookup on the database to see if a name is already there. Most older name programs let you do that. Maybe it's too much effort, or they have privacy concerns, or they just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm glad I keep track of signups myself, on about a dozen craft now. But, I got fooled by the recent LRO campaign, as I related in that BAUT topic. I signed up before checking my records. I was already signed up early in the LRO program.

Each program should offer signup and lookup on the same page. It might avoid a lot of duplicates, but they probably don't care. Indeed, the outreach efforts may desire duplicates, so that their gross numbers are higher, so that they can tell administrators that more of the public is involved.

Now that's what I call a Conspiracy Theory.

But for the seck if the kepler mission found the habitable zones beyond our earth, do you think that it would be cost effective for those who want to take shelter there!!

The whole things will have to cross the different space hazards, guarantee, the living management, the management for survival, all will be workout easily !
