NASA's PerseveranceUpon these small pieces of silicon - each one no larger than a fingernail - millions of names were etched with an electron beam.The plate bearing the names of 11 million people can be seen, circled, as Perseverance heads towards the surface of Mars. Pic: NASA
The beam allows for the writing to be less than one micron across - much less than the width of a human hair. In total, 10,932,295 people from around 250 countries and territories had their names travel the 300 million miles through the solar system aboard the rover.And 284,350 of those were people in the UK, with participating countries stretching from the United States to Niue as part of the"Send Your Name To Mars" project.
