Swedish artist and entrepreneur Mikael Genberg is holding a crowdfunding campaign in hope of raising US$15 million to place his trademark Swedish red house on the moon by next year.



Supporters of the “Moonhouse Project” can purchase “moon meters”—for instance, pledging “US$1 will bring the Moonhouse 25 meters closer to the moon”, while a contribution of US$50 or more will have the donor's name engraved on the house along with other “keepsakes”.



The 15 year project is currently 75% completed, it will be self-assembled and transported by US aerospace company Astrobotic.



The project aims to inspire people to “break mental boundaries and change the perception of what is possible”.



Will you be supporting the artist's cause?
