Hi Everyone

I was nosing on the NASA site and noticed you could send your name to an asteroid (as the name of this post suggests ), you get a page you can print off to prove your name goes. I've done something similiar before for myself and son, here's the link

apparently it gets etched onto a microchip, which sounds cool anyway.

You must be thinking of a different mission.

'On June 20, 2007, NASA's Discovery mission Dawn will launch its mission to characterize the conditions and processes of the solar system's earliest epoch by investigating in detail two of the largest protoplanets remaining intact since their formations, Ceres and Vesta'.
