Just sign up for your name to be included on the list to be launched in 2009 with the Kepler spacecraft into orbit around the Sun. It's the closest I'm ever going to get (or particularly want to get) to going into space and I've got a certificate saying I'm goooooooing...

You like to live life on the edge!

I put my name on the STARDUST spacecraft several years ago. They convert it into binary and place it on a chip or space-hardened DVD. Unless aliens own a Sanyo DVD player or have a really spiffy Mac, it's ultimately just bits and bytes. Though, being the geek I am, I still think that's cool.

If you slingshot around the sun, I understand that you can go back into time.

Just thought you'd want to keep that in mind :)

you don't suppose...

it's going to put your name onto some Intergalactic Spam list, do you? "Hey! New suckers for the Venusian Time Share scam!"
