MOON represents the past, present and future, significantly benefiting from being the world's best known and most loved brand. MOON is also fortunate to avail itself of the world's largest, stunningly illuminated, energy efficient and truly breathtaking 4.5 billion year-old romantic billboard, orbiting some 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) from planet earth.

Astronaut, Space Shuttle Commander, Colonel, Rick Searfoss, USAF Retired (Project: Space Consultant) shared,

MOON is a futurist project that will address the preservation of the environment and our co-existence with nature together with emerging advanced technologies in movement and inhabitation, both questioning and offering visions for today and tomorrow. Our challenge will be to create spaces of beauty and memorable experiences that will not only inspire and delight but also enlighten.
