Ghost Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) "A placard commemorating NASA's "Send Your Name to Mars" campaign was installed on the Perseverance Mars rover on March 16, 2020, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Three fingernail-sized chips affixed to the upper-left corner of the placard feature the names of 10,932,295 people who participated. They were individually stenciled onto the chips by electron beam, along with the essays of the 155 finalists in NASA's "Name the Rover" contest. The name of the Boston Crusaders is now on the surface of Mars!" 67You and 66 others 4 Comments Edited February 20, 2021 by Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
