NASA's Europa Clipper Mission, set to launch in October, includes a unique message recorded in Hindi and 102 other languages. Engraved on a 7 by 11-inch tantalum plate, the message symbolizes Earth's connection to Europa's watery depths. Linguists collected recordings of the word "water" in various languages, etched into the plate alongside the American Sign Language symbol for "water." Inspired by the Voyager mission's golden record, the message aims to establish a connection with Europa, known for its potential ocean beneath the icy surface. The spacecraft also carries artwork and microchips with millions of names.
