Send Your Name to a Comet
November 19, 2003 | In December 2004, NASA plans to launch the Deep Impact spacecraft and send it to Comet Tempel 1. Once it arrives on July 4, 2005, it will shoot a 370-kilogram (816-pound) impactor into the dirty snowball, making a crater some 7–15 stories deep. NASA is offering for the public a chance to have their names written to a CD that will be placed on the impactor, thereby leaving their mark on a comet.
Already 400,000 people have signed up. If you'd like your name to be on Comet Tempel 1, visit the Deep Impact Web site at
