Who even knew about this?

Apparently 434,738 people participated in this historic experiment. It is kind of like sending a message in a bottle in the ocean…except the biggest ocean of space.  There were also some other “questionable details” in regards to this mission!

The New Horizons probe is carrying a CD-ROM with the names of 434,738 people who participated in a “Send Your Name to Pluto” campaign. It’s also carrying a portion of the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930.

That is quite a way to honor someone…by sending them out to Pluto!  Not too many people can say they have had that happen 😉

Just a note it was in the year 1974 that S.E.T.I. was very active.

Let’s find out the latest on these messages in the video on page 2
