Embargoed until MAVEN successfully reaches Mars orbit.
Vanna Bonta,
actress/author/inventor/poetess and passionate space advocate, wrote
a haiku to ride on the MAVEN spacecraft that has just reached Mars.
Thirty-six million
miles of whispering
welcome.
Mars, you called us
home.
Ms. Bonta's haiku was
voted in the top three of over 1000 submissions in the international
Haiku to Mars contest. She was present at Cape Canaveral last
November for the launch of the rocket carrying MAVEN. Ms. Bonta also
invented the 2Suit for intimacy in weightless conditions. She tested
it on the Zero G plane for the History Channel documentary, "Sex
in Space" in 2008.
Unfortunately, Ms. Bonta
passed away from this realm in July of this year. Her ashes will be
sent into space aboard an upcoming Elysium Space memorial flight.
