pluto.jhuapl.edu — NASA is going to send the new Horizons probe to Pluto - and on it can be your name! Basically, NASA is asking for you to send in your name which will be attached to the probe. If you happen to be one of those conspiracy theorists, yes; the real plot behind this story is that the government is trying to spy on you.

I sent my daughter's name... Because if anything ever comes of this (Aliens find the names, research them, then come looking for them on earth), she'll at least be alive to experience it.

Sweet.My name is on the Sagan Memorial Station up on Mars. I'm a member of the Planetary Society and they placed everyones names on it during prep. I guess, I'll have to make a presence on Pluto!SjN

Wouldn't it be funny if there was life on Pluto and that the probe kills on of them and then they read the names and in Plutonian it says "Die" "Destroy" "Kill" "annihilate" "Britney Spears". Then Pluto might send Uranus to moon us :(

"you ripped this off of /. so no digg"1) Slashdot didn't create this. They linked to it, and they were definately not the first to do it.2) This is a socail bookmarking site; not a omg-its-already-on-x-news-source-and-i'm-a-fag-so-no-digg site.3) If you digg what you see, click the digg button. No other factors should come into play.
