NASA: You can't fly to Mars, but your name can

NASA is giving everybody a chance to shoot their names up into space on the first

Orion mission, scheduled to launch December 4.

The collected names will be included on a microchip the size of a dime. The first

trip will be on board NASA's initial test flight for the new Orion spacecraft. It's set

for a 4.5-hour mission in orbit around Earth. It will then take a flying leap back

through the atmosphere and land in the Pacific Ocean.

Currently, nearly 7,59,583 people have submitted names to fly to Mars.
