Sample postcard messages
Mom,
I’m writing to you from the Global Citizens’ Assembly headquarters—it feels like the future is unfolding right before my eyes. Students from every continent are presenting their low-Earth orbit experiments, and their ideas are inspiring! Did you know they’re developing solar panels that mimic photosynthesis? I miss you and hope to visit soon.
Love always,
Sofia

Hey Grandpa,
The Moon is incredible! I helped install a new solar panel array yesterday—it powers half of our habitat now. At night, I watched Earthrise from my window—it reminded me of all your stories about Apollo missions. Hope to visit home soon!
Love always,
Ellie
Hi Emma,
Life on Europa is incredible—our underwater drones just captured footage of bioluminescent organisms beneath the ice! It feels like I’m living in a dream. The tech we’re using here is already being adapted for Earth’s oceans—I hope it helps with your project back home. Miss you tons!
Love,
Leo
