This doesn`t actually sounds like a news but I still post it here because I get to know it from a newspaper.

 

I think most of the members might have known this project.

 

You can sign up for a boarding pass to get your name on a trip on the Orion testing module on-board the Delta IV Heavy rocket. After the landing scheduled at The pacific ocean transfer near California, your journey haven`t ended. Your name will continue to fly on subsequent Orion spacecraft in the future which is going to on-board the Space Launch System(SLS) by NASA. You collect points along the journey. For the Orion Flight Test, the point is 60000 miles.

 

The website is go.usa.gov/vcpz

 

The closing date is Oct. 31, 2014

 

The rocket is scheduled to launch by Dec 4-6(which is the launch window) 2014 from Cape Canaveral Launch Pad, Florida
