How often can you say you had an exclusive first look at an object being sent into deep space? That was the opportunity attendees had at the Opening Session of the 2024 SXSW Conference. <\/p>\n
Director of NASAs Science Mission Directorates Planetary Science Division, Lori Glaze, and the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limn, took to the SXSW stage on March 8 to unveil a piece of history that will be aboard NASA's Europa Clipper. The goal of this NASA rover is to determine whether Jupiter's second moon, Europa, could support life. <\/p>\n
Ada Limn spoke about the similarities the arts share with space and how there is beauty and surrender in exploring the unknown. <\/p>\n
Since the beginning of space exploration, inspirational messages have traveled aboard NASA spacecrafts. In keeping with this tradition, Limn's poem will be riding along with the Europa Clipper as well as engraved designs representing recordings of the word \"water\" in a diverse collection of human languages, co-signatures from over 2.6 million people from around the world, and more. <\/p>\n
