    Many thanks.

    As others have said great little stocking filler. :)

    My 5 and 6 year old nephew and niece will be thrilled to think they are a tiny part of a space mission, even if in name only and the certificate is great - printed it on magnetic paper so they can stick it on the fridge in the kitchen!:T

    I think this was about last year and I had problems printing it out............not sure how I did it but I managed in the end and the grandkids were tickled to bits with it. I rolled it up like a scroll and put in in a kitchen roll middle that I covered.
    Somewhere on here there's a ''sending your face to space''.........I've done that but waiting for the cert. to be e mailed.
    Makes novel pressie.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Wonderful! I've sent all the offspring to Mars & saved their certificates to print & laminate when they're tucked in later. What a brilliant idea for all mothers, and what unsual Christmas stocking-fillers! A "gift money can't buy" in the very best MSE sense. :j
    Now, I have to wait for the as yet unborn or named little cousin before I can send the new bundle (& the siblings!) off. A Christening gift with a difference, I think. (The Complete Shakespeare is my default for such events, but this will add to it nicely!):beer:
    Many thanks OP!

    Had a google - if you register by Sunday, looks like you'll get on the mission leaving 1 November, and you'll be able to print a certificate in time for Christmas. (You can't get the certificate until the mission has gone and if you miss this one, the next one isn't til next year. Make sure you select the November one on the form!)

    Not one for me, but hope your boys like it! :)
