This is totally awesome! I shared it with my friend who's an astronomy nut as well. He did something just like this in the 90s sending his name to Mars. I put my name in and set my pin code as 1725, the middle year of my favorite decade (1720 - 1730)
I was also very heavy into astronomy when I was a kid. I sent my name up on the last 2 Mars rover missions. I didn't even know they were doing it for this one until I saw it in my news feed today at work. :)
