I've been reading Murmurs of Earth (about the Voyager Interstellar Record) and it got me to thinking about the New Horizons Spacecraft. Which, could end up leaving the solar system (unless NASA tries to run it into something). So, I was curious if NH had any 'message to the cosmos' similar to the Pioneer & Voyager space craft?

If not, does anyone know why?

It has names of the people who submitted their names online recorded on a DVD.

Not really, just signatures, Tombaugh's ashes, and a piece of SpaceShipOne.

Not about important messages to the cosmos, but about more personal messages and marks:

Here are some missions that have included (or will include) submitted names from the public, with a link to something related: like registration, search, press release, or description:

Cassini http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/96/cdsign.html
Dawn http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/feature_sto...es_install.asp
Deep Impact http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/sendyourname/index.html (not maintained)
Kepler http://www.seti.org/kepler/names/
LRO Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/index.php
Mars Polar Lander (failed) http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/98/m98integ.html
MER Mars Exploration Rover (Spirit and Opportunity) http://spacekids.hq.nasa.gov/2003/namequery.htm
New Horizons http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ecard/certif...searchName.php
Phoenix http://planetary.org/special/fromearth/phoenix
SELENE (Kaguya) http://www.jaxa.jp/pr/event/selene/index_e.html
Stardust http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/microchip/

I think the Huygens probe did it. The cancelled 2001 Mars Lander did (and the names were transferred to the MER mission).

Topic Project Gutenberg... has some discussion of names in space from 4 years ago, with some detail about the media.

Anyone know of more missions?

Edit: More about messages: Wall Street Journal: Message in a Bottle

So, what did Huygens carry to Titan in the way of messages?

Ah, it looks like something less grand happened. Here's ESA press release: Second space Christmas for ESA: Huygens to begin its final journey to Titan:

A Portrait of Humanity (PDF) describes the cancelled Huygens diamond disk and offers thoughts about messages to spacecraft discoverers, by Jon Lomberg, who designed the Voyager record.

Edit: I forgot: Beagle II. Oops.

You Earth people do some very nice stuff, I must say.
