AI Thread Summary
NASA's Face in Space program allows individuals to send their photos into outer space on upcoming shuttle missions, likely using a flash drive for digital images. Participants can submit their pictures through the program's website. While some find the initiative intriguing, there are doubts about its potential to significantly boost public interest in the space program. The discussion also touches on the program's "participation maps," which provide insights into submissions. Overall, the program offers a unique opportunity for personal involvement in space exploration.
