About LifeShip

LifeShip is a space mission for humanity, in service to life from Earth. We’re preserving the essence of our planet—DNA, seeds, stories, and art—and launching it beyond Earth as a backup of life and human legacy. Our capsules are placed inside pyramid-shaped monuments on the Moon, asteroids, and eventually deep space. These monuments are inspired by ancient civilizations and designed to stand the test of time—symbols of creativity, memory, and hope for future life.

LifeShip is powered by a global community of artists, dreamers, scientists, explorers, and pioneers. We believe the future of space exploration will be shaped by grassroots movements rooted in meaning and purpose. Our missions combine cutting-edge science with human connection, sending life outward while deepening our connection to Earth. Together, we are planting the seeds of a greener, more conscious Universe.

There are many ways to take part. You can contribute your name, photo, story, DNA, art, or even a glimpse of your consciousness—preserved with billion-year archival technology. We also support a vibrant artist and entrepreneur community, as a platform offering creative pathways to space for visionaries and partner organizations.

One of our core initial mission is to create a seed bank and DNA library of Earth’s biodiversity—preserved on Earth and across the stars—for the benefit of future civilizations.

By joining LifeShip, you become part of a collective legacy—honoring Earth, continuing life, and carrying our shared story into the cosmos.

Project Honeylight helps people create the life they imagine through lessons from nature. Together we micro-etched its “strategy architecture” for regenerative ecosystems into our Pyramid on the Moon that landed on March 2, 2025. Future LifeShip missions to the ISS, back to the moon, and beyond will carry updated chapters of the Honeylight roadmap, a drop of honey, and more.
