NASA's upcoming space mission to search for life on Jupiter's icy moon Europa will carry an inscription of a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón.
• An excerpt of Limón's poem:
“And it is not darkness that unites us,
not the cold distance of space, but
the offering of water, each drop of rain,
each rivulet, each pulse, each vein.
O second moon, we, too, are made
of water, of vast and beckoning seas.
We, too, are made of wonders...”

The Contract Says: We'd Like the Conversation to be Bilingual
Ada Limón
"I saw a girl, maybe half my age, dressed for no apparent reason, as Wonder Woman. She strutted by in all her strength & glory, invincible, eternal, & when I stood to clap (because who wouldn't have), she bowed, & posed like she knew I needed a myth - a woman, by a river, indestructible."
Wonder Woman, Ada Limon
