Have you ever thought of traveling
into space to visit the International Space Station, or the Moon? Let's face it,
if you wait for NASA or the Russians to lob you off this provincial rock, you
have a comet’s chance in hell.
Why wait?
The time to travel to the
stars is NOW.
Using revolutionary solar-sail propulsion
technology, SpaceNOW will provide an interstellar ship that will ride the solar wind
to slowly accelerate on a journey to encounter other star systems.
And part of you can be on board!

Your DNA will go where no DNA has
gone before!
SpaceNOW is a private corporation
dedicated to creating a human presence in the cosmos in our lifetimes. We have contracted with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
to supply a launch vehicle to place our sail into space and on the first step of
its epic journey carrying a cargo of messages, images and human DNA!
Your DNA is freeze-dried for freshness that will last a
trillion years!
To send your DNA on its way, just drop a toenail clipping
in our kit's special pouch send it back, and we do the rest. This little chunk
of you will be flash-frozen and placed on board our starship bound for the edge of
the Milky Way!
You'll be riding with Arthur C. Clark's and Bono's
nucleotides!
Join ever-impressionable rock stars, senile sci-fi
authors and just plain folk like yourself on this futuristic venture. If you
choose our more advanced kit, along with your DNA you can add images and up to
one megabyte of your formerly ignored creativity that'll gain new significance after
it ends up in the curious position of representing our entire species.
Without lifting a finger, you can not-so-boldly go...
Who knows?
Imagine the awe you'll inspire in an advanced galactic civilization
when you arrive after a multimillion-year journey on the interstellar equivalent of a
sailing ship. What will they think as
they analyze your toenail bearing your very essence. You'll be there when
they grasp the significance of organic material that normally gets caught in the bathtub drain screen
-- and it'll be an ancient message not just from you, but that is YOU.
It's like abducting yourself,
but without the invasive probing.
Long after you're dead and decayed, and our
insignificant little Sun has flared up into a bloated red giant to consume our
pitiful little planet, your toenail will live on,
perhaps to be cloned, used as an exhibit in a museum or maybe end up part of an
exciting experiment far beyond the conceptual limitations of our tiny human
minds.
Challenge
yourself: Will you stay a small fish in a small
pond, or dare to be a microbe in a humungous
sea?
Just think, your photo may be admired by the Chief Gromplok of planet Ohxxxdpq. Your song or poem might be absorbed into the Antarian Overmind’s
mnemonic bath. Or maybe the Inner Council of the Belletrixian Qquuorlox will find
you so interesting they'll send a starship armada to visit the world
where such a splendid and useful species hails from.
Live
On! You might even be re-generated
to be born again in a fantastic new world!
The possibilities are as limitless as space
itself. Perhaps your DNA will be put to work to help the great extraterrestrial
civilization that finds our craft. Imagine an army of cloned worker-drones who
look just like you! Or your DNA matrix will be harnessed to generate
ingestible-protein sheets harvested to feed trillions of hungry beings that have evolved
far beyond our pitiful, cattle-like selves.
And you’ll be there!
