Contributor Carl Carlsson and his daughter go to Mars. Sorta...their names will arrive next month with the MER landers, on one of two silica glass DVDs.

Speaking of the DVDs...it appears Biff and Sandy have not yet been informed of the untimely demise of Nozomi. On the one hand, I can understand...why upset the crew needlessly by reminding them of the inherent dangers of their mission? But on the other hand, isn't it better to know? Why keep them in the dark, when they're going to find out sooner or later?
