NASA ^ | May 21, 2019 | RELEASE 19-041

[BenLurkin]

This might make sense if it were a raffle.

$100 an entry. Raise some money to help defray the mission cost.

[tet68]

I’d pay $100 if they’d send Nanzi P. to mars,
or at least make the attempt.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Just one name? Barry, Cankles, NutterNan, Shmucky Schumer . .. Lots of Hollywood... Milano.... really tough choice.

[rktman]

💩-4-brains? 👹👍🏼🚀

"text smaller than one-thousandth the width of a human hair"

If there is microbial life on Mars, at least they might be able to read it.

[rlmorel]

They are sending up a housefly in the Mars Rover, and they want us to name it?

[C210N]

I bet Sheila Jackson Lee is interested in sending her name to Mars... and in us checking out the flag we planted there.

[treetopsandroofs]

I did that for the Sun probe.

They lost it.

Superfly!

[NonValueAdded]

Awwww, I thought it was an opportunity to fill out the passenger list. My Bye, bye, Nabcy dream falls into the bit bucket.

[rlmorel]

Heh, now I have that song in my head!

[humblegunner]

Doctor Smith!

[rfp1234]

NASA is giving the public an opportunity to send their names — stenciled on chips — to the Red Planet...

I nominate "Baraq Hussein Odungo", stenciled on a cow-chip.

[DannyTN]

I submit Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.

Lets watch them grow potatoes in their own manure.

Come to think of it, the amount of manure they generate is an excellent reason to choose them.

[Interesting Times]

What? And expose my personally identifiable information to the aliens??

[Yo-Yo]

Rovie McRoveFace?

[fieldmarshaldj]

*ping*

[mad_as_he$$]

One way?

AOC.

[bgill]

And Hellary and zero and ... Heck, just line up the demonrats.
