A pyramid on the Moon!
LifeShip continues to forge ahead on our mission to preserve Earth and spread life to the stars. We are a community powered mission making it possible for anyone to be part of humanity's exciting future in space.
We're excited to announce that LifeShip’s next moon mission will put a Pyramid on the Moon! It is a monument to Earth. The pyramid is packed full of a library of Earth life and an archive of humanity. We finished assembly of the pyramid and delivered it to Firefly Aerospace to be included on the Blue Ghost lunar lander. Launch is targeted for late 2024.
As a monument to Earth, the lunar pyramid serves as a microcosm of our planet, encapsulating the biodiversity of life and the breadth of human experience. It is a repository of our collective knowledge, a time capsule of our era, and a beacon of hope for future generations.
The lunar pyramid is a testament to our species' capacity for both artistic expression and scientific advancement. It is a bridge between past, present, and future, a symbol of our interconnectedness, and a bold statement about our place in the cosmos.
Packed full of life and knowledge!
This miniature yet information-rich pyramid houses a biological library of life and the stories, wishes, prayers, photos, and art of over 100,000 humans from all over Earth.
It includes:
- DNA from 500 species
- Plant seeds from 100 species
- The complete human genome digitized into Cerabyte ceramic storage to last a billion years
- Art collections, including gallery collections from MoonMars, LunARC, and Lunar Codex, stored on NanoFiche
- A message to a future civilization assembled by Interstellar Foundation
- A drop of sacred waters and miniature crystals from 33 sites around the world
- Stories, wishes, and prayers from 25,000 people
- A collection of Ideas Interviews from The Museum of Ideas
- Collections of stories and culture from over 200 indigenous tribes
- All of Wikipedia, detailing the story and knowledge of humanity and Earth
- An AI Large Language Model (LLM) as a messenger from humanity
- The Golden Archive art by artist Amy Karle
- And much more…
It is not just an archive. It is a seed of life and a messenger from our species.
Layers including art by Amy Karle, Richelle Gribble, Moon Mars, and Ed Kac. All contents are embedded in a Synthetic Amber Polymer resin within the pyramid. Image on right shows plant seeds and a glass art cube embedded in polymer.
Next steps are for Firefly to integrate the pyramid to the Blue Ghost lunar lander in the coming weeks. Launch is scheduled for November.
