NASA’s Power to Explore essay contest gets kids to plan future space missions. Luca wants to go to Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
NASA told the kids in the contest they’d be using the Radioisotope Power System to propel their ships through space. In space-age time, it’s an old technology, having been used for six decades, Reid said.
Even RPS has its limitations, of course, and some space scenarios dreamed up by kids in NASA’s essay contest may be technologically far-fetched by today’s standards. But Reid said that’s okay. “We want to engage their imagination. We want them to think big, just like we do here at NASA. So we want them to envision, if you could go anywhere in the solar system, where would you go?”Luca’s mom, Danielle Pollack, said science and technology have always come naturally to him.
