Yes, its true. You will be able to send your name to MARS and it would be travelling all the way and landing right on MARS. Read further to know how to send your name to The Red Planet (link provided below).
NASA is inviting the public from all over the world to have a wonderful opportunity in sending their names to MARS. The Naming exercise by NASA started with Orion Flight Test - 1 (later known as Exploration Flight Test-1), Insight Lander and now with the upcoming MARS2020 in which NASA is sending a Lander, Rover and a Helicopter to The Red Planet.
For each name you submit to NASA, you will receive a "Boarding Pass" containing your Name and all the details about the distance travelled, your ticket number, departure time and site, Arrival site and also with all the barcoded details. The boarding pass looks very cool. The Names registered will be etched on a chip which is then attached to the spacecraft.
The up-coming MARS2020 mission which NASA is launching this July 30th 2020 already has 10932295 names from people all over the world taking a trip to Mars. The registrations for this mission ended on Sept 2019.
A total of 2429807 names were submitted when NASA opened the registration for the previous Mars Insight Mission which launched on 5 May 2018.
The next launch to MARS is scheduled in 2026. NASA has invited the public to register their names for the next mission. You can register your name using the link below:
The above link will take you to the NASA's MARS page, where you will be providing the details like First Name, Last Name, Zip-Code and your e-mail id.
Post-registration, you would receive a boarding pass to MARS. Well, I got my Boarding pass, check it out --
