Guille Blancarte, an artist from Mazatlán, Sinaloa, has been selected along with over 200 other artists to send her artwork “I Wonder” to the moon.

Blancarte, one of the winners of the CryptoArt for Impact and Innovation at Bitbasel – a platform that helps creators launch their first NFT collection – will be included in the Lunaprise Moon Museum.

The museum will be a payload aboard Intuitive Machine’s Nova-C Lunar Lander, which is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida via a SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket in early to mid 2023, according to NASA. The mission, called IM-1, is NASA’s first return to the lunar surface since 1972.

The museum’s collection is etched onto indestructible nano fiche disks made from pure nickel, an element that can survive the harsh conditions of outer space. The museum will have information about humanity including music by Grammy winners, famous speeches, collectibles from sports stars, works of art from the most famous artists in history, film scripts, NFT collections and more.
