High-Level Project Summary
My poem shows both diversity that the mission explores and it's importance. Turning scientific facts into verses and adding to them "soul" could help a non scientific person to understand the greatness of this step in exploring the space. My poem is hoped to touch human hearts, as it is universal language to deliver the cruel information that NASA scientists are trying to spread.

Detailed Project Description
How can we know what is the glory
Of upcoming days when missing the story
Missing the history of whole existence
Keeping the answers at arm’s length distance
Lucy has shown us once, who are us?
Lucy will show as now, what is earth?
Not way to Asgard, not journey to Mars
Trapped asteroids carry secrets of birth
In four billion miles from ground and sky
Space left us questions, it waits for reply
Surrounded by golden landscapes of autumn
Lucy will go, yes Lucy will fly
12 years, 7 asteroids and 1 spacecraft
Hope’s singularity braking through dark
Trojan heroes, Greek gods, who knew we will meet
Once more you are flaming the scientist’s spark
First – DonaldJohanson, our guide, and locally “child”
one hundred thirty million years, is it too wild?
Eurybates – the only collisional C-type
Why is it alone, and what is it’s satellite
Polymele first ever P type reached
Could we find organics if have ever been
Leucus our slow friend as they pitched
Four hundred forty six hours for spin
Patroclus, Menoetius – duo of giants
Planets aligned for our meeting
Sounds us ununderstandable science
But mate, take it wider, ponder the linking
Didn’t you notice diversity, greatness
Hugeness of picture we trying to witness
It’s science, and science is time in the flow
Ones that are late are out forgiveness
How can we know what is the glory
Of upcoming days when missing the story
Missing the history of whole existence
Keeping the answers at arm’s length distance
Let’s open the capsule it’s time to know
Watch Lucy fly and steal the show
Space Agency Data
I was inspired by the fact that asteroids are trapped on Saturn's orbit
Used NASA database for describing destinations of the spacecraft
Hackathon Journey
It was the first time I participated in Hackaton. It teached me that time is everything
