NASA Will Take Your Name to the Moon – FOR FREE! Here’s How!

March 7, 2022 Victor Medina

NASA is going back to the Moon, and they want to take you along….in name at least.

The mission, dubbed Artemis I, will be the first unmanned flight test of the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft. It will fly to the Moon, around it, and back to Earth. The flight paves the way toward man’s return to the Moon and the eventual establishment of a moonbase. The return will also see the first woman and the first person of color to step foot on the Moon.

The launch date for Artemis I has not been set, but NASA expects it to be sometime in the summer of 2022, perhaps as soon as May.

Until then, you can click right here to visit the NASA website, where you can enter your name into a database that will be included on a flash drive that will fly aboard Artemis I.

When you enter your name, you are asked to provide a custom pin number, which will generate a personalized boarding pass. NASA promises you will need it to access your boarding pass in the future.

Here’s what the pass looks like – customized for The Week In Nerd.

According to NASA, when the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) lifts off from the historic Launch Complex 39B at the newly-modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida, it will “demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.”

Here’s NASA video of the preparations for the Artemis I launch.
