"Deadline Approaching: Submit Your Name for NASA's Europa Clipper Mission to Jupiter's Moon"
NASA is closing its "Message in a Bottle" campaign after this weekend, offering the public a final opportunity to send their names to Jupiter's moon Europa aboard the Europa Clipper mission. The names will be etched onto microchips in extremely small text and will accompany a poem by US Poet Laureate Ada Limón on the spacecraft. The Europa Clipper is set to launch in October 2024 to explore the moon's potential to support microbial life, with over 2.4 million names submitted so far.
