How you can help NASA (even if you failed math)
NASA is inviting creatives to participate in two new initiatives aimed at sharing stories about its missions. The agency is seeking proposals from artists, documentarians, and storytellers for projects related to upcoming missions, with submissions due by the end of June. Additionally, NASA is launching an art challenge called Moon Joy June, encouraging participants to create and share art based on weekly prompts without the pressure of competition.
