Happy Birthday!


Today, we celebrate Frank White's 82nd Birthday! Frank’s work on The Overview Effect has inspired a generation to see Earth as a unified system. This year, we want to help him experience it for himself.

Join us in wishing him a Happy Birthday by donating to fund his mission to space.

Another orbit around the sun, but he's more ready than ever for his biggest mission yet.

If you've been touched by his work on The Overview Effect, there are two ways to wish him well today:

  • DONATE: Make a contribution to the Send Frank to Space campaign. Every contribution counts! You're joining the mission and helping to shape it.
  • RECORD: Share a message of support by recording yourself saying "Send Frank to Space!" and posting it today, wishing him a happy birthday. Be sure to tag us and use #SendFrankToSpace.
​

Let's show the world that we are with him on this journey! We're also sending another person to space alongside Frank... It could be you!

Happy Birthday, Frank!

Human Lunar Mission

Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you've probably heard about the Artemis II mission which launched from Kennedy Space Center two days ago, marking the first time humans are heading to the Moon in over 50 years.

As of today, the Orion spacecraft has successfully completed its translunar injection burn and is on the way. The four person crew is executing a 10-day trajectory that features a lunar flyby before a planned Pacific Ocean splashdown around April 10.

More than anything, we LOVE how global attention has returned to the Moon and space industry as a whole. This is just the beginning of a very exciting time for lunar activity...

MoonDAO Town Hall

This week, we were treated to a great conversation between Frank White and Andy Sadhwani, Virgin Galactic astronaut and SpaceX propulsion engineer.

They share their raw reactions to the historic Artemis II moon mission launch and dive into the differences between suborbital and orbital spaceflight. Andy explains how feeling the extreme G-forces and weightlessness directly translates to his work building Starship engines at SpaceX. And lots more, where each person took turns interviewing the other.

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...

Hey everyone: We've made some updates to the overview flight terms and conditions based on a few pieces of new information: Some of the funds we’ve raised so far have come in off-chain (checks), while others have been direct ETH contributions through the website. Our current refund language only references the ETH committed to the contract, with refunds calculated solely on on-chain ETH raised after the fundraise ends. We may be able to negotiate a seat for Frank at a discounted price. To...
