Brags: My name is already on Mars on a DVD attached to the Phoenix Space Probe. It's in orbit around the Moon in the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and my signature is included with a few thousand that's on board the Cassini space probe in orbit around Saturn.

You know... someday... when historians dig these spacecraft up in the far future, how many stupid joke names they'll have to go through when they're studying the things. I wonder if anyone eyeball checks the names before they get to the spacecrafts ?

Well, thanks to Carl Sagan's bright idea, we as a species have already sent naked pictures of ourselves out of the solar system on a gold-plated plaque aboard the Pioneer space probes. I have no doubt that someday, somewhere out there in the universe aliens will be getting giggles at our high-minded expense.
