Once the message has been decided upon, the recipient must provide us with the text, along with the confirmation certificate delivery address. They can complete this process online or by completing and returning the enclosed gift registration sheet - full instructions are enclosed in their gift box.

The message is then sent to a space broadcast centre in North America where it is encoded by a computer into a format that is suitable for transmission. The message is then sent into space using a laser telescope with the message theoretically being detectable for over 1,000 years - some experts even saying forever.

Inside

• Welcome letter
• An explanation of your gift
• Information about how your message is sent
• A booklet about outer space
• Presentation certificate and personalisation pen

After registration:

• You will receive a certificate confirming your message and when it began its journey.

How this works

• Once the message has been decided upon, you need to provide us with the text, along with the delivery details for your confirmation certificate.
• You can complete this process online or by completing and returning the enclosed Gift Registration Sheet - full instructions are enclosed in your gift box.
• The message is then sent to a space broadcast centre in North America where it is encoded by a computer into a format that is suitable for transmission.
• It is then sent into space using a laser telescope with the message theoretically being detectable for over 1,000 years - some experts even saying forever.
• The possibility of life outside our home planet is becoming more widely accepted. If there is such a thing, and they are at a similar technological level to here on Earth, then there is a chance that your message could be read by them!
• So, if you have an important message, declaration or tribute to make, this is the ultimate way to do it.
