Write your name among stars PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Stardust spacecraft, a scientific mission to study a comet, also is going to carry silicon chips engraved with the names of people who sign up at the project's Web site (http://www.stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/). More than 200,000 have been submitted so far for the mission, set for launch in February and due to reach the comet Wild-2 in 2004. The names are being engraved on silicon microchips, each no larger than a fingernail. The writing is so small that 80 letters equal the width of a human hair. The names can only be viewed with an electron microscope. The probe is to collect samples of dust spewed out by the comet, and then return the samples and the name-bearing chips to Earth in 2006. o~~~ O
