Private Mars map blasts off: Crater names raising funds for ride to Red Planet [i]A private mapping project to name all of the craters on Mars has blasted off in a big way while also booking a trip to the Red Planet. Just a week after launching its crowdsourced Mars Crater Map, the space funding company Uwingu has raised more than $80,000 registering the public's names for over 6,000 of the Martian landmarks. "This is way ahead of our pre-launch projections and we're just ecstatic," Uwingu's CEO Alan Stern, a former NASA science chief who also heads the agency's New Horizons mission to Pluto, said. "Still, we have a long way to go to complete the 500,000+ unnamed craters."[/i]
