NASA is giving the public a chance to have their names stencilled onto a microchip that will be sent to Europa, a moon of Jupiter. If you choose to add it, your name should arrive by 2030.
Every now and again, NASA gets ready to launch a major mission into space and sometimes offers the public a chance to get their name sent into space. The organization has opened up another opportunity such as this. You now have the opportunity to send your name on NASA’s upcoming Europa Clipper mission, which is set to land on Jupiter’s second Galilean moon, Europa, in 2030.
People’s names will accompany a poem called “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa” by US Poet Laureate Ada Limón. They will be stencilled onto a microchip and head off on the journey in October 2024.
