Hello Reader,

The deadline to fund Frank White’s mission to space is two days away. This is an all hands on deck moment for the MoonDAO community.

To date, we have raised over $170,000 from 119 contributions.

We NEED your help for this final push in donations and social engagement to close the gap and secure funding for this seat.

The Overview Space-a-Thon

To celebrate the final day of this campaign, we are hosting an all day Space-a-Thon. We will feature astronauts, industry leaders, and rotating guests and hosts throughout the broadcast.

  • Sunday Kickoff: Join us tomorrow, Sunday, April 26, at 9:00 PM ET for a one-hour preview session with Frank White, Ryan, and Pablo.
  • The Main Event: Monday, April 27, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET. We will be live on YouTube and other social platforms all day!

Governance: Q2 Project Voting and Retroactive Rewards

Q2 voting is officially live for all MoonDAO members and vMOONEY holders. There are two distinct actions required on the governance portal:

  1. Project Proposal Voting: We have 10 proposals that have passed Senate review. These projects are competing for voter approval and funding for Q2. We'll take the top projects up to the designated cut off, so your vote here has real implications for the direction of MoonDAO.
  2. Retroactive Distributions: Vote on the reward distribution for completed projects, including Accelerate MoonDAO Growth and the Executive Branch Q4 2025 - Q2 2026 term.

Cast your votes here: mondao.com/projects​

Thank you for your continued commitment to this mission to decentralize access to space. Let’s finish this campaign strong.

If you haven't yet, now is the time to make a contribution to the Send Frank to Space initiative and to help spread the word!

Last night we concluded our fundraising effort and raised over $172k from 157 contributions. This is a huge win for the Overview Effect. We've created massive awareness for Frank's work and seen the Overview Effect all over Artemis II, in the news, podcasts, and social media. All over the world the concept is gaining massive traction, and our campaign has helped push the idea forward. With that awareness alone this campaign has been a success. However, our most important goal is to send Frank...
