Make History: NASA is Allowing You to Send Your Name to Jupiter's Moon


Send for me.
What a random and cool way to close out 2023.  Be a part of history!  No pun intended, NASA has launched a "Message in a Bottle" campaign and is encouraging you to participate.  You are invited to submit your name to be engraved on a micropchip traveling to Jupiter's moon, Europa.  1.8. BILLION miles away.  In 2024, the Europa Clipper spacecraft is headed to this icy moon to explore further on whether environmental conditions there are suitable for life.  Whoa.
In addition to the names, the micropchip will contain a poem by Ada Limón titled "In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa".  You have up until midnight on December 31 to add your name.  Sign up here !
