A Muse Bouche

My poem “4.6 Billion Years” is off on the first of three separate space missions. I’ll be watching–virtually–Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA, SpaceX, and Firefly Aerospace are targeting 1:11 a.m. EST Wednesday, Jan. 15, for the launch of Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1, the next delivery to the Moon through NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative.

Etched in nickel-plated nanofiche with thousands of other cultural artifacts chosen as part of the LUNAR CODEX project’s time capsules, “4.6 Billion Years” is headed for a landing at Mare Crisium on the Moon! Stay tuned~
