We're all familiar with the various space missions that have carried people's names out there -- Phoenix, Dawn, others.<br /><br />Here's a question for you -- suppose you had the chance to send information to Mars -- MORE than just your name -- but for a price.<br /><br />For example: Your family photos, your signature, poems, short stories, journal entries, messages to future Martians...<br /><br />Would you pay for that service? How much per US-standard page (8.5x11 inches or roughly 21x28 cm) would be a fair price?<br /><br />Do you think others would like this idea? Would it be popular or unpopular? Might it reach outside the "space community" with proper marketing? How would you sell it? <br /><br />Or- what would you pay for a similar service but one in which the spacecraft stays only in Mars orbit taking photos/exploration etc and could communicate with people back on Earth continually? Which idea sounds more interesting or worthwhile? Or do you have your own?<br />
