In 2005, NASA had a program that allowed you to enter your name to be placed on a CD-ROM that was to be put on the New Horizons probe to Pluto. I was able to look mine up and still see the certificate.

    I’ve done a few of these. It was pretty cool. One of the missions ended up on the bottom of the ocean however.

    I’m not sure if I did it or not, but my name is common enough that it’s in there multiple times…

    You shouldn’t be giving your information to aliens. I don’t even want to imagine who they’d sell your information to now.

    Yep. NASA did a similar thing for the Perseverance rover except, if I’m remembering correctly, they used some sort of nanotechnology wizardry to etch over 10 million names on computer chips.
