Like to go to Mars?

NASA's plans to return to the moon have unfortunately been shelved while Obama props up corporate executive salaries in the USA instead. But they are sending a new rover to Mars - much bigger this time, so hopefully less likely to get stuck in potholes like the current little one has recently.

And NASA is compiling a microchip with names of interested people, which will travel on the new rover - called Curiosity - to Mars and presumably all over the surface.

So add your name or your kids' to the list.
