Richelle Ellis's ART is on the Moon!
As part of the extraordinary Great Pause Project, her collaborative masterpiece is now a permanent fixture in the Arch Mission Foundation's Lunar Library, which successfully landed on the Moon on February 22, 2024.
Galactic Legacy Labs and the trailblazing Lunaprise mission are pivotal in this journey, ensuring that the essence of human knowledge and experience, encapsulated in treasures like Wikipedia and the Rosetta Project, are forever etched in space-proof nickel nanofiche aboard the Odysseus lunar lander.

This venture goes beyond the archival, embedding the poignant reflections of the COVID-19 era within the lunar landscape, and standing as a testament to our enduring creativity and inherent global connectivity. Richelle Ellis's artwork, along with the vast tapestry of human culture, now lies in lunar repose, an infinite legacy awaiting discovery by the future's voyagers.
