Send Your Name to a Comet

In December 2004, NASA plans to launch the Deep Impact spacecraft and send
it to Comet Tempel 1. Once it arrives on July 4, 2005, it will shoot a
370-kilogram (816-pound) impactor into the dirty snowball, making a crater
some 7-15 stories deep. NASA is offering for the public a chance to have
their names written to a CD that will be placed on the impactor, thereby
leaving their mark on a comet.

If you'd like your name to be on Comet Tempel 1, visit the Deep Impact Web
site at http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/sendyourname/index.html.
