one step closer to Mars!

I vintras bloggade jag om en resa till mars, nåja... inte att jag själv skall till mars, men väl mitt namn på en DVD-skiva...

Jag fick mejl häromdagen, såhär börjar det:

Dear [rigg],

Thank you for participating in The Planetary Society's Messages from Earth project!

Your name is now one step closer to Mars. The silica glass mini-DVD with a quarter million names on it -- including yours -- has been installed on the Phoenix spacecraft, and is ready to go to Mars!

[...]

Då är det väl bara att börja nedräkningen då...

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
