The first QR codes
to reach another world.
On the 15th of January 2025, a rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral and carried something unprecedented into the dark: 100 small codes, each one a doorway between two worlds. Destination, the Moon.
Forty-six days later, on the morning of March 2nd, the Firefly Blue Ghost lunar lander touched down at Mare Crisium, the Sea of Crises. It was the first successful commercial lunar landing in history. Among everything it carried, those 100 QR codes arrived intact on the lunar surface.
For the first time in human history, a code on the Moon could link directly to a person, a company, a story on Earth.
They were sent by MoonMars Museum, born from the belief that art, culture and human stories belong in space as much as science does. Behind each code is someone who believed that too.
Each of the 100 codes is permanently part of the lunar landscape now. As technology evolves, so will the ways to read them. They are a record that we were here. That we looked up. That we reached.
