Take a Break: Send your name to the sun

NASA is sending a mission to touch the sun. It will swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun's surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. Launching in 2018, Parker Solar Probe will provide new data on solar activity and make critical contributions to our ability to forecast major space-weather events that impact life on Earth. The launch window is between July 31-August 19, 2018

NASA is inviting people around the world to submit their names online to be placed on a microchip aboard NASA’s historic Parker Solar Probe mission. The mission will travel through the Sun’s atmosphere and your name will go along for the ride. You have until April 27, 2018 to  Send your name to the Sun.
