Send Your Photo To SpaceX Right Now To Have Your Face Featured In Space

Now, you can have a photo of you sent to the universe with the new technology from SpaceX.

SpaceX is planning to create a giant image mosaic with hundreds of portrait photos from different people. These photos will be printed out and sent up by 2 astronauts from NASA on the first manned mission of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. The two astronauts, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, will lift off in a capsule on May 27.

As scheduled, the flight will lift off at 4:33 pm (Eastern time) from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For NASA Commercial Crew Program, this is an important milestone. After the ending of the shuttle program in 2011, NASA has to rent seats on Soyuz rockets which take off from Kazakhstan. Therefore, Boeing and SpaceX are working in this program to develop and bring manned launches back to the USA.

This mission is the beginning of other plans for NASA. NASA has ambitious to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station and back in capsules. Meanwhile, SpaceX is working on its own project to send 100 humans into space at a time in the Starship. Especially, it can harvest fuel from other planets to bring ferry humans to the Moon, Mars, and even much further.

This groundbreaking mission is a big chance for the two astronauts but not many people can send their photos. Only students who graduated or are going to graduate this year can send their photos to the project. Besides, there is not much time left, the photo submission deadline is this Wednesday, May 20.

To submit your photo, you need to first head to the Class of 2020 specially-designated website of SpaceX. Then, click on "Add your photo." Next, type in your email address and school. Lastly, click on "Take or browse for a photo" to attach your photo.
