Haikus to Mars may sound like the title of a 1950s sci-fi B movie, but that’s what NASA is asking for. The space agency is inviting the public to submit haikus to be recorded on a DVD that will be carried by the unmanned Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch in November.
The submission call is part of the Going to Mars Campaign run by the mission’s principal investigator, the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (CU/LASP). People are asked to go online at the Going to Mars website and submit a personal message in the form of a haiku.
