Anyone may think it's fun to send something up in space to an asteroid. Now NASA is giving that chance along with the Planetary Society.

The two giant space organizations are taking names to take via the OSIRIS-Rex mission heading for the asteroid Bennu by 2016. The submitted names will be etched into a microchip that will be sent on board the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft. According to NBC News, the mission is reportedly worth $800 million. It aims to arrive at the asteroid in 2018 for a research that will run for a couple of years.

The spacecraft will gather about 60 grams of surface and bring back to Earth the sample materials in 2023. One of the microchips will be included in the sample return capsule while another will be part of the probing portion that will stay in outer space.

The OSIRIS-Rex is run by the University of Arizona for NASA. Its mission will aid scientists to expand their learning regarding the formation of the solar system and discover other materials that can be extracted from asteroids. It can also help in learning how to deal with asteroids that may pose threats in the future like the asteroid Bennu.

Names can be submitted via the official Web site "Messages to Bennu." Anyone who will register will also get a printed certificate stating your names and will be sent to an asteroid. The mission also has its own Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep everyone updated of the coming launch straight from the Cape Canaveral Air Force in 2016. However, the deadline for the name submissions will only be up to Sep. 30, 2014.

On other news, Daily Mail UK reports that NASA is also set for the biggest rocket ever made that can carry up to 130 tonnes in space and to be used for the launching of bigger space probes. It can also potentially be used for the future manned Mars missions of the space agency. The new Space Launch Systems that is way bigger than the rocket that brought man to the moon had its images revealed by NASA.
