NASA's Mars Rover Is Bringing 10.9 Million Names to the Red Planet

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover will be carrying more than 10.9 million names when it launches from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station this summer on its voyage towards Jezero Crater, where it's expected to land on February 18, 2021. NASA confirmed on Thursday that 10,932,295 monikers and 155 essays had been etched onto a microchip aboard the rover in response to the 'Send Your Name to Mars' campaign, which invited people around the world to submit names and articles to ride aboard the agency's next rover to the Red Planet. We are all in this together.
