Stars, astronauts, and space personalities radioing their personal messages and pictures to Mars!
Over a dozen actors, actresses, astronauts, authors, and space personalities joined Uwingu’s “Beam Me to Mars” project, sending their own messages and pictures to Mars. Celebrities who have already posted messages to be sent to Mars via the “Beam Me to Mars” project include:
- Motion picture actors Seth Green and wife Clare Grant
- Star Trek actor George (“Sulu”) Takei and husband Brad Takei
- Bill Nye, The Science Guy
- Former International Space Station commander and media star, astronaut Chris Hadfield
- Commercial astronaut Richard Garriott

- Pulitzer winning author and playwright Dava Sobel (Galileo’s Daughter, Longitudes)
- Author and screenwriter Homer Hickam (The Rocket Boys, October Sky)
Beam Me to Mars provides the first opportunity for the people to radio personal messages and pictures to Mars. Anyone can participate. Beam Messages can be as simple as a name, or can be more elaborate, including text and even images. Anyone can send messages to Mars, and people can send as many as they want, there is no limit. Pricing begins at $5 and helps create new grants for the Uwingu Fund for space exploration, research, and education.
All messages in Uwingu’s ‘Beam Me’ transmission will be sent on November 28th. The messages will travel there at the speed of light—arriving at Mars just 15 minutes after they are sent.
The entire Beam Me message archive including celebrity messages is searchable, and all messages can be freely shared on social media.
