β¨In 1987, Frank White introduced the world to a concept that would become foundational to the modern space industry: The Overview Effect. It describes the cognitive shift astronauts experience when they see Earth from space, a profound sense of unity, fragility, and interconnection that changes how they see everything. The term is now used by NASA, ESA, and virtually every commercial space company on the planet.πππ
Frank White is in his 80s. He has never been to space. ππͺπ°οΈ
MoonDAO, a decentralized space organization, is launching a $2M crowdfund to send Frank on a spaceflight, and to send one community member alongside him. This is citizen spaceflight in its truest form: funded by the people, governed by the people, with a seat open to the people. π©βππ¨βππ§βπ
The mechanism matters: all funds are held in a transparent smart contract. If the minimum goal isnβt met, every contributor receives a full refund. Whether youβre in the space industry, a builder, or simply someone who believes the Overview Effect should be experienced by the person who named it, this is worth your attention, and your support. Thank you. β¬οΈ
