I’ve been speaking to a space company (name is confidential) that sends cargo up to the International Space Station (ISS) and assigns tasks (such as experiments) to astronauts on board. I’d like to propose sending a 3d printed Noun to the ISS. This would be the first time a crypto or NFT character has ever traveled in space, and would generate a lot of publicity and forever be part of Nouns lore. The memes that can be generated from this event would be endless. With this project, Nouns DAO would be pushing the boundary of what crazy things can be achieved by DAOs.
DANIT will design and 3D print the Noun to be delivered into space. She will send it to the company, where it will put the figurine through a variety of tests to make sure it is safe for entering space.
Noun 22 will provide governance and an extra pair of eyes on all communications with the company to make sure everything is done above board.
Launch will occur sometime in H2 2022. The Noun will get sent up on a Space X (or similar) rocket to the ISS. Astronauts will take a picture of the Noun, with various backgrounds such as the inside of the space station and the window looking out on the Earth. These pictures would be sent to us and circulated in traditional and social media. We could choose to pay extra to deliver the Noun safely back to Earth, or pay less to dispose of it in however way NASA usually disposes of stuff.
We have the proposal from the company and if this is approved, I would personally enter into a contract with the company to begin this project, and use the ETH from the DAO to pay USD deposits on the work. Here is the budget:
Design and printing of Noun plus shipping costs (by DANIT) - 1 ETH Project management (by Noun 53), consisting of 1+ years of calls and emails with the company, and reviewing proposals and contracts - 5 ETH Pre-launch testing, launch, and return - 20 ETH Booked NASA astronaut time - 37 ETH Total - 63 ETH
Timeline: Mid Dec - Proposal voted on and contract signed Jan 2022 - Initial deposit paid Feb 2022 - printing and shipping of Noun completed Mar - Jun 2022 - testing of Noun and waiting for launch to happen Mid to late 2022 - launch to be scheduled and picture to be taken on ISS.
