The McDonald's corporation has agreed to help fund the mission by scaling back the Thousand Island dressing on their Big Macs to nine hundred islands. Apparently, there is accounting for taste.

Several years ago, on Space.com, you could sign up to have your name, along with 250,000 others placed on a CD that would be placed aboard the Phoenix and sent to Mars. Even though I will never go to the Red Planet, my name is there on that CD. Some will think it to be a corny idea but to me it is fascinating that as I type this, my name is on a CD on Mars. What an amazing time in which we live. Here's a linky that tells about the project. :roadrunner:

That's cool Bill :moreilly:

They should have sent up a DVD of Vista also, thus preventing any future invasions from the Martians, a kind of deterrent. :roadrunner:

Looks like you made it to Mars Talker

Smith presented a new Surface Stereo Imager view of the American flag and a mini-DVD on the Phoenix's deck, about three feet above the Martian surface. The mini-DVD from the Planetary Society contains a message to future Martian explorers, science fiction stories and art inspired by the Red Planet, and the names of more than a quarter million Earthlings.
