A 98 year old is bringing physical art to the surface of the moon!

53 years ago he did the exact same thing.

Before his Apollo 15 lunar mission, astronaut David Scott met Belgian painter and printmaker Paul Van Hoeydonck at a dinner party. They agreed that Van Hoeydonck would create a small statuette for Scott to place on the Moon, though their recollections of the details differ.

An so they did!

Astronaut David Scott secretly placed the Fallen Astronaut statue on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission, near the completion of his work on August 2, 1971

At the age of 98, Paul is still creating art daily, and now it’s happening again.

Together with @moonmars he is one of 47 projects being brought to the moon with the Falcon9 rocket and SpaceX.

Another one of the 47 projects are us, the MiDiPunkz!
We’re bringing a piece of music called the “Hi Song” 
A song where people all around the world are saying “hi” in their own language!
