Whoever controls the Moon, controls our future


Whoever controls the Moon, controls our future.

Today we're announcing the first Hyperstition Capital Engine.

Our first prize launches today: Touchdown. You can predict the next successful lunar landing, each prediction can help fund a future payload that will go to the winning team.

This is the first prize of many. In the next few weeks we will launch prizes for Lunar Rovers, Water Ice, and Surviving the Lunar night.

We're publishing a critical path to a Moonbase, and a new funding model to drive capital to those challenges. A Moonbase is not gated on technology. It's gated by funding, coordination, and access. This new model addresses all three by leveraging our collective intelligence.

There are six companies and governments racing to be the next lunar lander: China, Firefly, Intuitive Machines, Blue Origin, Voyager and ispace. Touchdown has one rule: land and stay standing.

Every prediction funds a pivotal technology on the critical path to a Moonbase. YOU decide our future.

​
P.S. Landing on the Moon is hard. Give it a try yourself with this 3D in-browser TOUCHDOWN game.
