Newsletter #14 - Special Edition! - November 3, 2006

Dear friends and fans of Mars Gravity -

It's been an exciting week for the team! - culminating in a front page article in today's Boston Globe, which you can check out online at: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/11/03/prime_ad_space_in_space.

So what's all the excitement about??

In a novel bid to pay our own way into space, we are now inviting people around the world to make our spacecraft their high tech canvas. This week we launched a new website - YourNameIntoSpace.org - where individuals and organizations can decorate the satellite and our website with logos, photos, names, and messages. For a tax-deductible donation as low as $35, anyone can send their message into orbit! For a larger donation, you can reserve space on the reentry vehicle, and at the end of the mission the space hardware bearing your actual logo, photo, message, etc will be returned to you. At YourNameIntoSpace.org, kids of all ages can also add their names for free to a DVD that will fly onboard the spacecraft.

We're thrilled to be able to share the excitement of space exploration with everyone! With this website, we're opening a new frontier for public and corporate participation in cutting edge research and space adventure - and making it possible for everyone from students to multinational corporations to be involved in our landmark mission. YourNameIntoSpace.org uses the global reach and immediacy of New Media and Web 2.0 to make that star-filled frontier just one mouse-click away. So please, join us in making this satellite a high tech canvas for photos, artwork, declarations of love, well-wishes, greetings from space, names - use your imagination!
