Nasa is looking for poets and other creative storytellers to help with its Artemis mission to the Moon and other work.The space agency is looking to work with “filmmakers, documentarians, songwriters, storytellers, poets, and others” to share its missions.They include the Artemis programme, which will return humans to the Moon, but other missions too. They include its plans to send a nuclear reactor to Mars in 2028, its work to build a base on the lunar surface and its test flights.It hopes that the work will “share the stories of NASA’s missions with the widest audience possible and inspire the next generation of explorers”, it said in a call for proposals to the public.The successful creators will be invited to Nasa’s programme facilities, “learn about the Program and its missions, interview personnel and spend a few days experiencing what the Program is about and what it is like to be a part of it”, it said.The work is primarily focused on US-based creators, though it said that international collaborators on American teams will also be considered. Up to ten people or teams are expected to be part of the first round, though the space agency said that more opportunities are likely to arise.The creators will not be paid for their work. Instead, Nasa says that it hopes the work will be “mutually beneficial” and that the space agency and its creators will pay their respective costs.Nasa asked anyone interested to submit their proposals by the end of June. It has published a call for proposals on its website, which includes details such as the exact information that those interested should send in.
