Take a Ride to Mars well not quite, but your name can!

Although it will be years before the first humans set foot on Mars, NASA is giving the public an opportunity to send their names — stenciled on chips — to the Red Planet with NASA's Mars 2020 rover, which represents the initial leg of humanity’s first round trip to another planet. The rover is scheduled to launch as early as July 2020, with the spacecraft expected to touch down on Mars in February 2021.

Maybe if we subscribe to this program we could have a discount in the future for the real space flight to Mars. Who knows, who knows.
