Los Angeles — In an unprecedented collaboration, art collective PROOF, renowned for its Moonbirds NFT collection, partners with Space Blue to send 254 unique Moonbirds NFTs with the coveted “Space Helmet” trait to the moon. This historic journey is part of the Lunaprise Museum project, a space mission aimed at preserving humanity’s history, culture, and artwork on the lunar surface.

The Moonbirds NFTs will hold a special place in the Lunaprise Museum, where 222 iconic artists’ projects spanning various artistic domains will be showcased. This includes fine art masters, priceless collectibles, digital art, music, film, and artifacts of art history.
The 254 Moonbirds with the Space Helmet trait will be engraved onto indestructible nickel plates, stored on Lunaprise disks, alongside other digital artworks. For more details about the Lunaprise Museum, visit spaceblue.club/projects/lunaprise-mission.
To commemorate this historic space mission on November 15th, a select group of 50 collectors who own a Moonbird with the Space Helmet trait will be invited to the launch and a black-tie gala event at the Kennedy Space Center.
A limited number of these collectors will receive commemorative official mission jackets adorned with custom embroidered patches, with additional jackets available for sale. Holders can find more information in the PROOF Discord.
“We’re honored for Moonbirds to be a part of this historic mission to preserve art and capture humanity.”

The Lunaprise Museum features “The Humanity Hall of Fame,” a single collection that uses words and photos engraved onto indestructible nickel plates and digital archiving to showcase our way of life for future civilizations.
It will be included in the payload of the NASA mission IM-1 Lunar Lander, scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, via a SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket on November 15th, 2023, marking NASA’s return to the moon after over 50 years.
The Lunaprise Museum’s digital art pieces are etched onto indestructible nano fiche disks and pure nickel, ensuring they survive the rigors of outer space. These disks will last virtually forever and can be read using a microscope.
