Re: Send your name to Mars orbit
The previous 2 name projects were Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter 2008 and Mars Science Laboratory 2011.
I missed the dateline for LRO and submitted for MSL.
The MSL project collected 1.2million names worldwide, of which 1888 were submitted from Singapore.

Join you all and go to Mars as well.
(I also sent my name to Mars with Curiosity last year. Still kicking myself for not getting into space exploration earlier. I deeply regret missing the chance to send my signature to Titan with the Hugygens probe.)

Thanks for the info.
- The entire observable universe is subliminally paradoxical.
- By realizing the paradoxical effect of nature, it enlightens on how natural phenomena could be negated to render their delusions in a typical obfuscated manner.
