TL;DR Summary

NASA is inviting the public to submit their names for engraving on the Europa Clipper spacecraft, which will be sent on a mission to Jupiter. The spacecraft will investigate whether Europa's ocean beneath its icy crust can support life. The mission is set to launch in 2024 and aims to reach Jupiter orbit in 2030. Along with the names, a poem by US Poet Laureate Ada Limón titled 'In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa' will also be engraved on the spacecraft. This initiative follows NASA's previous efforts to send messages from Earth to space aboard its Voyager spacecraft in the 1970s.
