Send your name to Mars via NASA!

Nathan Bradley, Staff Writer

Wouldn’t it be awesome for your name to be on Mars? Workers at NASA are currently working on going to Mars in July of 2026, and they have given the public the opportunity to send their names to NASA. This is such a wonderful opportunity, that is very easy to do!

If you would like your name to be sent to Mars in July of 2026, go to https://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/mars2020/ and select free boarding ticket, then you just need to fill out your first and last name, email, and zip code. Then you’ll receive a ticket of your boarding pass and your arrival date and time, and all of the other information you’ll need to know.

This is an example of what the boarding pass should look like, from where I personally chose to send my name to Mars!

This is very exciting and NASA is doing big things going to Mars! They work long and hard to prepare for these trips, and they handle everything so professionally. Of course, there is a difference between going to Mars and your name going to Mars, but it still opens you to be and feel apart of the experience of making history, and just to know that your name is on Mars!

I highly recommend sending your name to mars! Just follow the instructions above and remember, it’s free! Also, don’t forget to check in on it in 2026!
