It was"a crazy, maybe idiotic, but at the same time, in my mind, really poetic thought to put a red house with white corners on the surface of the moon," Genberg said in a video posted on Facebook. “And now it’s going to happen.”Genberg, who is currently in Florida to watch Wednesday's launch in person, said he was very excited to finally see his house get shot into space.
The house is made out of aluminum and daubed with a special, space-certified paint. It's 12 centimeters long, 8 cms wide and 10 cms tall. While it was Genberg's idea to put the house on the moon with the help of lunar rover Tenacious, about 70 people donated some 7 million - 10 million Swedish kronor for the project, which also includes the flight, he said.
