Immortality on the moon? Yours for €80

Millions of people around the world are to be offered the chance of immortality on the moon.

It is hoped the multi-million euro plan will raise funding for an ambitious private moon mission in 10 years.

For less than €80 people will be invited to buy space on memory discs to be buried in a bore hole drilled into the lunar surface. Four billion-year-old material extracted from the hole — which could be up to 300ft deep — will be made available to science.
