With our community and national partners, The Space Place held a "Cosmic Poetry" contest. We invited people of all ages to write poems about space technologies.
Poets could write about propulsion, navigation, power, communication, or imaging and mapping. Poems could be no longer than 100 words.

Here are two of the winners of the Cosmic Poetry contest:
