NASA have announced that people can submit their names for inclusion in a microchip to be sent to Mars.
Sometime in 2011 a rocket will blast off to Mars with the Mars Science Laboratory rover inside. This rover will explore part of the Martian landscape and carry out a number of interesting experiments. The MSL is being developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
In this rover will be a microchip with a list of people’s names – and your name can be one of them.

Click here to add yourself. You can print a certificate after adding your name, so you could even use it as a random birthday / Christmas present idea.

I had exactly the same thought. I'll put the certificate up so DS sees it when he comes in at teatime (he's 9).
