Send Your Name to Mars microchip location, taken prior to the launch of NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover.

More than 1.2 million names were submitted on our web site over a one year period! Some 20,000 visitors to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Fla., wrote their names on pages that were scanned and reproduced at microscopic scale onto two chips the size of a dime.
