I'm going to Pluto

22nd January 2007 4:03pm

I had completely forgotten about filling in the form on the NASA site for the New Horizons mission to Pluto, but lo and behold there I am!

Myself and over 430,000 other names have been inscribed on a CD attached to the spacecraft, which is currently approaching Jupiter for a gravity assisted slingshot to the outer reaches of our Solar System. We're due to arrive around July 2016.

Now that really is taking geekiness to another but would apparently exciting level! Enjoy the trip!
