一家由英國(guó)領(lǐng)頭的聯(lián)合集團(tuán)計(jì)劃向公眾籌資，在10年內(nèi)將一個(gè)探測(cè)器送上月球。登月計(jì)劃需要向公眾籌資5億英鎊。作為回報(bào)，捐款者可以在探測(cè)器專(zhuān)門(mén)提供的數(shù)據(jù)儲(chǔ)存空間里存入個(gè)人的照片，錄像和短信等信息。以下是 BBC 記者 Pallab Ghosh 發(fā)來(lái)的報(bào)道:
Lunar Mission One aims to survey the Moon’s south pole to see if a human base can be set up in the future. What makes this idea different from other lunar missions is that it is to be funded largely by donations from the members of the public.
In return, donors will have digital storage space on the lander for their own personal messages, pictures, music and videos. They will also be able to send up a strand of their hair, which the project team claim could survive for a billion years.
The lander will also contain a public digital archive of human history and science, which we compiled as a legacy to continue even if our species becomes extinct.
