The Moonshot Celebration is more than just a symbolic act—it’s a literal journey to the Moon. Your wish will embark on an extraordinary voyage that transcends our world, becoming a permanent part of lunar history. Here’s how this incredible journey unfolds, step by step.
Step 1: Submitting Your Wish
First, you share your wish with us, capturing your hopes, dreams, or aspirations in up to 280 characters. Once submitted, your wish is carefully stored and prepared for its cosmic journey.
You have two options for receiving your certificate:
- Digital Certificate: Receive a beautifully designed digital version of your certificate via email.
- Printed Certificate: Opt for a physical certificate, which will be shipped to you anywhere in the world.
Step 2: Boarding for the Mission
Your wish will fly on the next available mission to the Moon. We’re currently boarding for a SpaceX rocket shared with NASA missions, scheduled for launch in spring 2025. This mission is part of a collaboration with Firefly Aerospace and their Blue Ghost lander, designed to carry payloads to the lunar surface.
Step 3: Preparing the Spacecraft
Before the launch, your wish is encapsulated along with thousands of others into a special capsule. This capsule is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space and will remain on the lunar surface for centuries to come.
Step 4: Launch Day
As the launch date approaches, you’ll receive updates about the mission. On the day of the launch, the SpaceX rocket will lift off from Earth, carrying your wish along with NASA missions and other payloads into space. The rocket will propel the spacecraft toward the Moon, where it will enter lunar orbit.
Step 5: Lunar Orbit and Descent
Once in lunar orbit, the capsule containing your wish will be detached from the main spacecraft. It will then begin its descent towards the Moon, guided by Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander. This lander will ensure a safe and precise touchdown on the lunar surface.
Step 6: Touchdown on the Moon
You’ll witness the moment of touchdown as the capsule, with your wish inside, lands on the Moon. This marks the final stage of the journey, where your wish will remain on the lunar surface for the far future, becoming a part of humanity’s legacy in space.
Step 7: Receiving Your Certificate
To commemorate this unique journey, you will receive a certificate. You can choose between a sleek digital certificate, which is easy to share online, or a beautifully printed version that you can keep as a memento. Both options will feature your wish and the date of the lunar landing, serving as a tangible reminder of your participation in this historic event.
The Moonshot Celebration is a chance to not only dream big but to also leave a lasting mark on the universe. As your wish journeys to the Moon, it symbolizes the boundless possibilities of human aspiration. Stay tuned as we prepare for this incredible mission, and invite others to join this remarkable adventure into space. Your wish, along with many others, will soon become part of lunar history.
