Umm...so, you're thinking someone can construct a
sufficiently complete simulacrum of you based only on
your name?  I think I'll wait until they can start
getting entire human bodies up there permanently
(including having a destination facility capable of
maintaining such) and/or compression into machine
intelligence (with the appropriate transportation and
maintenance for that form) before claiming to "go"
there.
