00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:07.140
March 2, 2033. Where will you be? The Lucy
spacecraft will be right here. But what about

2
00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:08.149
you?

3
00:00:08.149 --> 00:00:14.150
Over the next 12 years, NASA’s Lucy Mission
will explore more asteroids than any previous

4
00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:19.790
mission, flying by one main belt asteroid
and seven Trojan asteroids. These ancient

5
00:00:19.790 --> 00:00:24.280
time capsules will allow us to trace the origins
of our solar system.

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:29.680
We invite you to accompany Lucy on its 12-year
journey by creating your own time capsule.

7
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:35.070
Set aside a box of mementos, create a digital
file, or simply write a letter to yourself.

8
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:40.610
Get creative! We encourage you to post a photo,
drawing, video, or other description on social

9
00:00:40.610 --> 00:00:46.220
media using the hashtag #LucyTimeCapsule.
At each major mission milestone, we’ll remind

10
00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:49.160
you to revisit and add to your time capsule.

11
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:53.660
Consider: What would you tell your future
self? In what ways will you grow? How do you

12
00:00:53.660 --> 00:00:56.830
want to mark the current moment in your life?

13
00:00:56.830 --> 00:01:02.149
Lucy carries her own time capsule into space
- a plaque with words of wisdom for our descendants

14
00:01:02.149 --> 00:01:07.340
who may one day come across the spacecraft
long after its primary mission ends. The messages

15
00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:13.960
encourage hope and humility, knowledge and
curiosity, appreciation of humanity and exploration

16
00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:15.450
of the cosmos.

17
00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:19.939
We hope you’ll join us, and Lucy, as we
look with anticipation upon the unknown of

18
00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:24.020
our future, both as individuals and as humankind.
