And over the last few weeks, several celebrities have agreed to send their digitized DNA to the space station in an effort to "save humanity" in case a future catastrophe should befall Earth. Among those who will be enjoying the digital "ride" to space are Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report, famed physicist and author Stephen Hawking, music legends Joe Ely and Eric Johnson and American Gladiator Matt Morgan.
