Frequently Asked Questions
- We are setting up a fair, equitable, and legally protected system, protecting each of us and all of our commitments, which we continue to work on.
- On our website you will are able to sign up with your interest including via an initial $2 donation.
- Once we have investor commitment we’ll further develop the message design App and writing processes and open up for your purchases. We expect this to be in 2025.
- Humans have created cave art since time immemorial to celebrate knowledge and life, and to remember. The moon has no life, it is a blank canvas.
- We believe democratising cultural access to the lunar surface is fair and an important endeavor for mankind.
- Humans have already left their mark on the lunar surface in the form of footprints, vehicle tracks, and even the initials of astronaut Eugene Cernan’s daughter.
- The technologies we develop and their spin offs will help us here on Earth in sustainability projects through the use of robotics, battery and solar technologies. This will help us to reduce our impact on the Earth, the planet that sustains us.
- As soon as we can. We already have an offer of a ride-along to the lunar surface in 2028-2029. We are trying to hit that target.
- However, almost as soon as you’ve designed and ordered your message you’ll receive photos of it etched onto the special metal scrolls destined for the Moon!
- Message purchases with options can cover everything, though we will listen to sponsors to seek mutual benefits (you, them, all of us).
- Trading / exchange of messages for those that wish to.
- However, innovation is our friend and we want to crowdsource much of this.
- $149 for a message in a 3 x 1 cm frame rectangle on our special metal scrolls. That’s up to c. 60 to 80 characters in our smallest but easily readable font.
- Scalable price plans will be available for; larger messages, images, art and drawings.
- Any even number of 3 x 1 cm blocks can be joined to make your message in landscape or portrait.
- This will be clear in our message design App coming soon.
We are exploring a range of fonts which can offer clarity of the message whilst also being appealing and appropriate for the type of message. We’ll provide details in the future as the development progresses and involve you in that process.
We are initially working on English with an English character set but we hope to expand from here, subject to the complexities of introducing more character sets.
- Almost anything at all for a loved one or a memorial message provided it is tasteful and within reason. Or maybe a tasteful message about life, a poem, or even art, imagery, and drawings are possible. All provided you have the copyright owner’s permission.
- We are working on the character counts, fonts, and more. At present a minimum message block will cost $149 at 3 x 1 cm and c. 60 to 80 characters in the smallest easily readable font.
- However, you can group slots together to create a longer message or use a larger font and include images, art, and drawings. The maximum scroll width for a message is 6 cm but it can be up to 10s of cm long and arranged in landscape rather than portrait if you wish.
- They will likely outlast us, the human race, but will be a lasting record of our love, life and memories.
- Messages are laser etched onto scrolls made of robust low-reactivity metals such as Titanium and then enclosed within a special case, which is then enclosed in a lunar package.
- We are taking measures to ensure the metal layers within each scroll do not fuse together for a very, very long time, if ever.
