Dad rocks the Red Planet too! If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for Dad, the commercial space company Uwingu has a special Father’s Day promotion where you can name a crater on Mars after your dad (or any other special person in your life.) You’ll get a unique decorative Father’s Day certificate that you can download and print,or for an extra fee you can have the certificate professionally printed and framed.
Uwingu’s Mars Map Crater Naming Project at allows anyone to help name approximately 590,000 unnamed, scientifically cataloged craters on Mars. The company uses out-of-the-box idea to help address funding shortages for researchers, scientists, educators and students. Uwingu’s Mars map grandfathers in all the already named craters on Mars, but opens the remainder up for naming by people around the globe.
“This is an out-of-this-world way to honor dads across this planet,” said Dr. Alan Stern, Uwingu’s CEO. “Help your dad join our Dads on Mars club!”

I wonder if this is the same scam as ‘name a star’?
At least with a pet rock you actually got a rock.
In other words, this is yet another misleading fraud, much like the Star Registry scam.
But if you can't beat ‘em, join ‘em. I'm starting a new company called City Registry. For only $100, you will get a major world city named after you. You pick the city, say Paris, and you will be sent a beautiful map with the city in your name.
Maps in color will be an extra $100.
Framed maps will be an extra $100.
They make great last-minute gifts for the gullible!
No shortage of ways to separate money from suckers.
“But if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. I’m starting a new company called City Registry. For only $100”
Fortunately, my new registry company won’t conflict with your new registry company, namely, the New Age Mars Crater Naming Project, which charges only half as much as the Mars Map Crater Naming Project. And MY company is an environmentally responsible green company too because we use green colored ink for our certificates!
Does it come with a TV, refrigerator, and La-Z-Boy recliner?
