Who are we?

Co-Founders

So who exactly are we? Our co-founders are credible, capable, and in some cases, well-known innovators that have solved some of the hardest problems in technology & engineering. We are passionate and determined people that believe in doing the right thing as we take on this grandest of challenges. We are determined to preserve our culture by putting humanity on the moon, just as we’ve put on humans on the Moon, and as others start to put moon-bases and prospecting activities there too.

We are determined to make this a positive endeavour, playing our part in STEM and in sustainability technologies that help us here on Earth. There’s so much we can do together with this programme and we will never lose sight of that.

MoonXcribe’s team is growing rapidly, and as a ‘Thin Prime’ agile organisation we want to keep our team small, dynamic, and highly effective and efficient. This means we will be contracting the development and production work to the most capable partners and suppliers. We have just one mission, one dream, one reality, and that’s to get your messages on the Moon.
