NASA has some kind of program thing where they will send a picture of you into outer space on the next space shuttle mission. They are probably just going to take a flash drive up with them with digital photos on it but it's still a tiny bit cool I think.

The "participation maps" are a bit interesting.

I don't personally see this reviving public interest in the space program that much though...
