You are on Mars -- now it's time to go to the Moon!
The deadline for participation in the next chapter of The Planetary Society's milestone Messages from Earth project is rapidly approaching.

June 27, 2008 is the last day to sign up to Send Your Name to the Moon on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter – LRO. As always, the names of Planetary Society members are already included, but we don't want you to miss this historic opportunity.

The Planetary Society is committed to trying to bring the public on board each and every mission launched into space from Earth. As you know, our most recent message arrived on Mars aboard NASA's Phoenix mission on May 25, 2008 carrying your name and those of a quarter million other inhabitants of the Earth.

Now it's time to go to the Moon!
