"Join the Journey: Send Your Name to Europa on NASA's Spacecraft"
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, set to launch in 2024, will carry names of individuals who signed up for the "Message in a Bottle program." The program allows people to send their names to Jupiter's moon Europa, even though there is no one there to receive the message. The names will be engraved on microchips and placed on the spacecraft, which will conduct flybys of Europa to search for evidence of alien habitats and subsurface oceans. The exercise may not have any physical consequences, but it offers a unique opportunity to transcend the boundaries of Earth and contemplate our existence.
