Register Now To Put Your Name on Mars Insight Lander! Deadline Nov 1

When it lands on Mars in November of 2018, NASA's InSight lander will be carrying several science instruments -- along with hundreds of thousands of names from members of the public.

When you register your name will be placed on a silicon microchip onboard the robotic spacecraft.   And you will receive a "boarding pass"
for the lander.

This topic had no replies ... I found it today when looking for topics about the Insight lander.

A relative sent a link to a report on analysis of Insight data that revealed Mars rotation is slowing down (slightly).

The topic was created in 2017, and 6 years later we have a lander who mission has officially ended, but whose data is still in active analysis.

we have had this in the past for other such probes, landers and rovers to which yes, I did submit my name on a few occasions.
