Alien Cube: UK startup launching 1st billboard and memes to the Moon

January 28, 2025

Alien Cube is launching an ambitious project to send the first-ever billboard and a collection of memes to the moon—this groundbreaking initiative aims to make contact with potential extraterrestrial life through humor and advertising, carrying messages from renowned scientists such as Harvard’s Professor Avi Loeb, Columbia University’s Dr. David Kipping, and Cornell’s Professor Chris Mason.

A leading space exploration company (We’ll be allowed to reveal further mission details once our goal is reached here) launches a rocket carrying Alien Cube to the Moon in the upcoming 1.5-2 years. After reaching Earth’s orbit, the lander will separate and continue its journey. Once in lunar orbit, the lander will carefully deploy the Alien Cube on the surface.

The Alien Cube, a durable titanium capsule designed to withstand the harsh lunar environment, will house a memory card containing digital content and engraved titanium plates featuring photos and messages from individuals around the world. 

To increase the chances of being understood, messages on the front of the cube are written in various alien languages from iconic science fiction franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Futurama, and others, each of which has developed its own unique language.

The Cube will also feature a dedicated space for brand logos, showcasing pioneering companies that are eager to join this extraterrestrial adventure. We are currently in discussions with several brands specializing in extreme gear and clothing, who recognize the unique opportunity to align their image with this groundbreaking mission.

Alien Cube has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise the final funds ($181,000 more) needed to secure a contract with a leading lunar transportation company for the payload. NDA is already in place, so potential partners include ispace, Astrobotics, Intuitive Machines, and Firefly Aerospace, all of whom have recently achieved or plan their successful lunar missions.

“We believe humor and memes are a universal language even on the moon,” said Stepan Myannik, artist and founder of Alien Cube. “This project is a unique opportunity to engage with potential alien life and eventually brainwash them with our content- it is a space where people can now send their Selfies,Tik Toks, Instagram Stories and Memes showcasing human creativity and culture.”
