Hurry! You Can Catch a Ride to Jupiter with NASA

Well, at least your name can.  

One of the planet Jupiter’s largest and most intriguing moons is called Europa. Evidence hints that beneath its icy shell, Europa hides an ocean of liquid water – more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. In 2024, our Europa Clipper robotic spacecraft sets sail to take a closer look…and when it launches, your name can physically be aboard! Here’s how: 

NASA’s Message in a Bottle campaign invites people around the world to sign their names to a poem written by the U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. The poem connects the two water worlds — Earth, yearning to reach out and understand what makes a world habitable, and Europa, waiting with secrets yet to be explored.

The poem will be engraved on Europa Clipper, along with participants' names that will be physically etched onto microchips mounted on the spacecraft. Together, the poem and names will travel 1.8 billion miles to the Jupiter system.

Signing up is easy! Just go to this site to sign your name to the poem and get on board. You can send your name en español, too. Envía tu nombre aquí.

The Europa Clipper launch window opens in October 2024, but don’t wait – everyone’s names need to be received this year so they can be loaded onto the spacecraft in time. Sign up by Dec. 31, 2023.

We hope you’ll be riding along with us! Follow the mission at europa.nasa.gov.

can you imagine being baby nico in titan's curse. like—him and his sister just got attacked by some weird ass monster thing, a bunch of random teenagers with weapons they shouldn't be handling show up to their rescue, some blonde dumb/smartass launches herself off a cliff to save them, a bunch of girls with wolves and bows show up out of nowhere with a whole goddess, and had his gay awakening upon meeting percy. all in the span of like an hour.

So Pinterest decided to jump-scare me with an old art of Annabeth Chase I did probably like 10 years ago, and as any well-adjusted person I had to redraw it immediately. If you’ve been around since those days bthw - say hi, cause damn it was a long haul! Prints up on Redbubble.
