Put your face in space

HOUSTON: Always wanted to fly in space? Now at least your photo can reach orbit. Nasa is inviting the public to send their portrait into space aboard one of the two remaining space shuttle flights. To participate, upload your picture to a Nasa website — faceinspace.nasa.gov.

You can select which space shuttle to fly — Discovery in September or Endeavor, targeted for November. You can also just fly your name, without a photo.
