] Whose names are on the microchips?
]
] The names on the microchips are from individuals who
] submitted their own names along with the names of
] friends and family if they chose to include them. Also,
] all members of the Planetary Society and the National
] Space Society current as of 1998 were included. In
] addition, as a special tribute, all names on the Vietnam
] War Memorial in Washington, DC were included.

I was originally following this story because my name is one of the 1+ million that are included on this probe. But something about the fact that all of the names from the Vietnam War Memorial are also currently mixing with the stardust of a comet, really touches me. :)
