People can upload their information on a new website under the Face in Space program to have it go into orbit along with the astronauts on the last two times the reusable space planes will launch.

In a statement released by NASA's space shuttle program chief John Shannon he said: "The Space Shuttle Program belongs to the public, and we are excited when we can provide an opportunity for people to share the adventure of our missions. This website will allow you to be a part of history and participate as we complete our final missions "

The next to last mission is scheduled to launch on September 16, which will be on Discovery, and the final space shuttle to go on orbit will be Endeavour, with its mission lifting off no earlier than November 27.

The end of the space shuttle program does not come without its controversies. Some are not convinced that relying on commercial spaceships and rockets is the right way to go for the Space Program. Additionally, having President Obama cancel the Constellation program, is leaving NASA with an uncertain future.
