We're going to MARS!!!

Okay, well, we aren't really going to Mars. But our names are going there. Daddy found a site where he submitted our names for a mission called InSight, it's going to be launched in May next year. The mission will land at the Elysium Planitia (Plain of Ideal Happiness), the mission will see what Mars is made of under the surface.
Back to our names, the names will be etched onto a microchip. It's the second chip with names that will go to Mars, the first chip already has over 10,000 names on it.
Elysium Planitia is just to the right of Elysium Mons
Each person that submits their name gets a boarding pass, so these are the ones we've got.
This is my little cousin's pass, he just turned 4 years old last Sunday (October 15th)

You can submit your names here.

Daddy got a new piece for his costume, he's working on incorporating it into the rest of his costume. He's got two weeks to go until Halloween to get it ready.
The glove didn't come with it.
This is what the underside of the device looks like
 
Do you see the pointed part?

That pointed part is a hidden blade, the skull is the button that activates the blade
This is what the blade looks like from above.
Daddy is going to paint the blade to look like it's a lightsaber.
