LifeShip

Super cool to see the LifeShip logo on the back of the astronaut in the trailer for Fortitude! Excited for this important space documentary to launch soon. LifeShip is well featured in it. We imagine future LifeShip astronauts as part of a space migration in harmony with all life. https://lnkd.in/gxmnjS9E

Wonderful Earth Day dinner at the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. Loved announcing a partnership with LifeShip and the Aquarium of the Bay to preserve Earth's biodiversity today and forever. Together we are preserving the DNA of local Bay Area sharks, rays, and more aquatic species as a genetic backup of Earth. We are saving copies on the Moon and across space and time so that the code for Earth's spectacular biodiversity lives on forever. Someday we will carry the seeds of life from Earth to the stars. We are here to preserve our beautiful Earth as we take steps towards an inspiring galactic future for humanity. #preserveearth #spreadlife #earthday

Join a LifeShip Gathering at Texas Eclipse! It will be a big cosmic alignment. LifeShip is hosting a panel on humanity's future as a galactic species. Join LifeShip at Texas Eclipse ⭐ Use Code: LifeShip for 10% off at seetexaseclipse.com

LifeShip is part of the collection, though no DNA on this one. It's the first time we've gotten something to the Moon. LifeShip's next DNA bank launches to the Moon later this year.

See LifeShip in Forbes! Thrilled about our partnership with artist, Amy Karle, who created a LifeShip inspired multimedia exhibit titled "Echoes from the Valley of Existence," for the 2024 Sapporo Art Festival in Japan. The exhibit explores "questions about how the biological and digital remnants we leave behind “echo” ahead in time." “I study what it means to be human at this time of merging with technology,” said Karle. LifeShip is a big idea. It is about preserving Earth and humanity for eternity. It is about birthing new worlds. So glad to see the vision on the world stage. LifeShip is a platform for everyone to build on top of. Have an idea you want to launch galactic? Let's collaborate.

LifeShip's DNA bank achieved lunar distance and went over 384,000 km from Earth. We made it to cislunar space! However, we won't be landing on the Moon this time. There was a fuel leak detected early in Astrobotic Peregrine's mission, likely due to a stuck valve, and there is not enough fuel to soft land on the Moon. Astrobotic is keeping the Peregrine spacecraft operational as long as possible and testing the payloads and instruments on the spacecraft. Many of the instruments are doing meaningful science and gathering important data about the environment in interplanetary space. The spacecraft is near apogee, the furthest point away on an orbit, and will soon begin the return leg of the first orbit. There is still uncertainty to the predictions of the trajectory. The spacecraft will likely burn up in Earth's atmosphere on this or a future return leg. It has been an exciting mission and we are grateful to the Arch Mission Foundation for including us. We congratulate ULA on the beautiful launch and Astrobotic for the millions of things that needed to go right to make it as far as it did. Space is hard. There is a reason humans have not returned to the Moon in over 50 years. Humanity is in a new exciting time for space exploration. Many more spacecraft are launching to the Moon soon. These missions are built by private industry and taking a faster, less expensive, and riskier development path than government space agencies traditionally take. That means we'll see more failed missions initially but then frequent and low cost access to the Moon and beyond. This is how human space settlement will happen. An agile approach will open the space frontier and make us a multi-planetary species. What's Next for LifeShip? We are so excited about LifeShip's future! LifeShip is an agile mission to the stars. We are confirmed on three upcoming space missions, with two going to the Moon. Everyone who was onboard Mission One will fly again for free on Mission Two. We saved a copy of DNA and all content to go on future missions. At LifeShip, we guarantee you get to the Moon and we keep flying you for free until you get there. LifeShip is not about a single mission. Our first two launches made it to the International Space Station at 450 km above Earth. This mission made it 384,400 km from Earth. We are proud of this step. Our next lunar mission is scheduled for late 2024 with Firefly Aerospace. Everyone who flew on Lunar Mission One will fly on Lunar Mission Two with Firefly. It is going to be even more exciting! Onwards and Upwards LifeShip's vision is galactic—this mission was another step along the way. We hope you'll join us for many more exciting rocket launches, moonshots, planetary landings, interstellar journeys, and more.    LifeShip is a space movement for all humanity. We care about bringing life to new worlds and taking humanity to the stars. We've only just begun.   To the stars and beyond!

DNA in space! Check out this article featuring LifeShip's mission. We're banking DNA across spacetime and utilizing synthetic DNA as an important technology for long term data archival.

Successful launch! LifeShip is on the way to the Moon. Rocket launches still make me cry every time. This was so fun to watch with the LifeShip community. We're making space accessible to everyone. Moon landing is scheduled for February 23rd. Thanks ULA and Astrobotic for a perfect launch and to our partners at Arch Mission Foundation for including us in the Lunar Library II on this historic mission. https://lnkd.in/ge-NWrT2

The rocket is on the launch pad 🚀 LifeShip is go for launch to the moon 🌙 Register to join our late night launch party: www.lifeship.com/party It is this Sunday night / Monday early morning. Show up to the party at 10:45 PM PST / 1:45 AM EST. We'll blast off at 11:18 PM PST / 2:18 AM EST. This is the first launch of the new ULA Vulcan rocket and Astrobotic Peregrine lunar lander. LifeShip is part of the Arch Mission Lunar Library II payload. See you there! Another small step in our community mission to back up Earth and send humanity to the stars.
