RED ALERT. RED ALERT. RED ALERT.

Give a Journey to Mars as a Special Holiday Gift!

(I hope this is not another ad for one of those implanted memories from Total Recall - Ed)

Looking for an unusual gift? 

Why Not Jettison Your Friends Into Space!

..uh I mean fly your friends and family and/or yourself or at least _your names_ TO MARS.

From now until January 5, 2007, anyone who enters their/your/a name to NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander program will receive a special holiday version of the Mars Phoenix participation certificate (in PDF Format). Wrapped in a printed ribbon and suitable for framing.

Ergo, if you'd like to Fly *Your name*..

(or Optimus Prime's or whomever or whatever's nomenclature you so desire - Ed)

..aboard NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander (due to launch August 2007 and arrive on Mars in May 2008 - Ed)

DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility whatsoever for Ed (allegedly - Ed) encouraging anyone to send fictional Transformer names to Mars. 

But that's largely because I'd probably encourage Flash Gordon or Star Trek names.

DISCLAIMER #2: They do say you can enter your _pets_ names, ergo if push comes to shove, just tell them you named your cat "Ming The Merciless".

(or Megatron - Ed)

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
