Remember when you were a kid and wanted to be an astronaut? Well, chances are, that dream didn't exactly come true. But now, thanks to NASA, you have your chance to make this childhood fantasy a reality! Sort of.
NASA has set up a program for people to send their photo into space on the remaining shuttle missions. It is known as “Face in Space”. People can upload their images to NASA’s website to ride along on the mission of their choice. These photo-astronauts will have the choice of flying on either the Discovery or Endeavor. After the shuttle has landed, participants can print out their own Flight Certificate, signed by the Mission Commander. NASA is also encouraging everyone to follow the status of their mission through Facebook and Twitter. So, your dream of becoming an astronaut is not dead. Maybe it’s not exactly how you pictured it, but getting your face into space makes it a little closer. And it was cheaper. Now you can work on your dream of being a professional athlete / rock star.
