In early 2026 (currently planned to be Feb 6), NASA's Space Launch System rocket will launch an Orion spacecraft on the Artemis 2 mission, the
first crewed flight of the program. This manned mission will perform a flyby of the Moon for the first time since Apollo ended. The 4 crew members are: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.

You are welcome to submit your name which will be included on an SD card that will fly inside Orion on the mission.
This may engage youngsters and pique their interest in space exploration or STEM in general.
Edit 1/20/2026: Submission ends January 21, 2026. I'm not exactly sure when NASA will cut off submissions.

Also they are going to flyby the moon, not land.
I think more people care that their name will fly around the moon than the order of their name on the SD card (assuming it's going to be added first-come-first-serve instead of alphabetical or random).
ALSO, DEADLINE TO SUBMIT YOUR NAME IS TOMORROW, JAN 21.
