Loving Art to the Moon and Back
Chantelle BaierTo the Moon with Love has been out baseline motto from the beginning of this project, as we know it’s important to develop everything with the lens of sustainability and impact to the lunar environment. We ensure that our art brings love and harmony to the Moon, reflecting not only our commitment to space exploration but also our dedication to preserving the beauty of the celestial bodies we explore. In crafting our installations and artistic expressions, we employ cutting-edge technologies and materials that have minimal impact on the lunar landscape. Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a guiding principle that informs every decision we make. Our team of engineers and artists collaborate to design structures that blend seamlessly with the lunar environment, leaving no trace behind. To the Moon with Love is not just a project; it's a vision for a sustainable and harmonious future beyond our planet. We aim to inspire others to approach space exploration with a mindset rooted in ecological responsibility. As we extend our reach into the cosmos, we carry the values of environmental stewardship with us, ensuring that our presence in space leaves a positive legacy for future generations. Our commitment to love goes beyond the artistic realm; it extends to the technologies we use and the methods we employ. We actively research and develop advancements that minimize waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact. By pushing the boundaries of innovation, we strive to set new standards for sustainable space exploration. To the Moon with Love is a testament to the power of creativity and technology working hand in hand to create a positive impact on the universe. As we journey into the unknown, guided by the principles of love and sustainability, we invite others to join us in this cosmic endeavor, fostering a shared commitment to caring for the cosmic wonders that grace our night sky.

My payload of Jeff Koons artwork on the big screen at the Banana Creek Viewing platform! So happy to be able to celebrate this exciting occasion for 4SPACE and the space industry with Media.com's founder, James Mawhinney. This was taken only a few minutes before the lights went out ready for lift-off!
