"NASA's VIPER Rover: AI-Driven Lunar Exploration Awaits Public Participation"

NASA is offering the public an opportunity to send their names to the Moon on the VIPER rover, which aims to explore the lunar South Pole and study water resources. People can submit their names until March 15 and receive a virtual boarding pass. The mission supports NASA's Artemis program, which includes landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, and is part of the broader initiative to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon as a precursor to Mars exploration.
