Outer Space!!!
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/microchip/
Six years ago NASA sent a mission to comet Wild 2, kinda appropriate since I am a Wild 1 ....doncha think? :rolleyes:
The thing that made me follow this mission from it's start was the fact that NASA asked the public to submit names, to be placed on a microchip, and flown with the mission.
There were two sets of chips.....one set will fly with the orbiter that will not come home.....and the other set will come home on January 16, 2006!
I submitted my name and a bunch of names of family, friends and pets.
It was a heck of a ride and the thing that pleases me the most is that I was able to put my Dad's name on the chip....so, in reality he made to heaven....and infinity and beyond!!!! :D
