In a groundbreaking fusion of art, space technology, and blockchain innovation, the Ebert Universe has reached new heights – literally. In collaboration with top-tier space professionals, a custom human made Ebert NFT was successfully beamed to the lunar surface and reflected back to Earth, where it was then ethscribed to create a unique digital asset collection. This historic moment marks a pivotal achievement for the Ebert ecosystem, signaling the convergence of cutting-edge science and the expanding horizons of Web3.

As an expansion of the world record SignaLuna program in sending the first on chain digital asset to the lunar surface and returning it to Earth, the mission operators sent a very special fragment of the Ebert Universe to the actual Moon. To echo the success of this lunar achievement, Who Is Ebert is offering a rare replica collection to mint a limited-edition clone NFT of Ebert’s Voyage to the Moon and back. Only 4,444 replicas of the ethscribed HOME Lunar journey collection are available for minting, directly on the website at: https://whoisebert.space/

A First-of-Its-Kind Mission

In partnership with The Atrium, LCA, Who Is Ebert made history by sending a non-fungible token (NFT) to the lunar surface and returning it to Earth – spearheaded by an alliance between The Atrium LCA (https://atrium.earth) and Who Is Ebert. In partnership with the Deep Space Exploration Society (DSES), the mission control team used the Paul Plishner Radio Telescope and licensed ham radio bands to send Ebert to the Moon on 28 September 2024 via an Earth-Moon-Earth transmission. This unprecedented achievement showcases the boundless possibilities of technology, art, and crypto, all converging into a visionary project that will forever change the landscape of digital collectibles.

Eric, The CEO, lead artist, and creator of Who Is Ebert, hand made the artwork to signify our journey of HOME is limitless, bound only to imagination. The mission control team converted the NFT image into an electromagnetic wave and beamed the signal at the speed of light where it reached the Moon and reflected back to Earth. As the HOME NFT made its journey to and from the lunar surface, it became symbolically intertwined with the particles of space, metaphorically linking the digital and physical realms. This subtle quantum-like connection reflects the deeper interconnectivity between our world, the cosmos, and the blockchain.

“We are delivering a special expansion collection in celebration of our Lunar HOME mission for Berts to share a lifetime journey into our Web3 animated film franchise…” – Eric, Creator of Who Is Ebert.

The mission’s success would not have been possible without the tremendous support from the Deep Space Exploration Society (K0PRT), located in Colorado, USA, and the C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station (PI9CAM), located in the Netherlands. These stations and ham radio operators formed the critical backbone for transmitting and receiving the NFT off the Moon and decoding the electromagnetic wave back into the NFT-image, showcasing the power of international collaboration in pushing the boundaries of Web3 and space science innovation.
