Welcome to the World of Moon Corps
The future starts today: as we plan humanity’s path to the stars, we are planting the seeds of tomorrow. At Moon Corps we’re embracing a human-centered approach to space. It’s not just about getting there – the way we go matters too. We’re cultivating paths of exploration that include plants as part of the process, pushing boundaries with Mother Nature along for the ride.
Adventure is Calling…
You may have learned about us at the 2044 World’s Fair, but did you know that we’re looking for people like you to join the team? Exciting opportunities with Moon Corps offer adventure with a purpose, beyond Earth’s atmosphere in brand new terrain.
We’re searching for a new generation of space explorers, ready to do the real work of preparing the way for life beyond Earth. Moon Corps is an international civilian service corps of the best and brightest minds from across our home planet. We’re calling on astro-botanists, astro-engineers, astro-chefs, and more to help make space accessible for the next generation of human explorers.
Are You the Next Moon Corps Volunteer?
A Greater Leap Than We Ever Could Have Imagined…
Humanity isn’t the only life form that explores: plants and their microbiomes are the original pioneers. Moon Corps is giving microbiology and botanical adventurers a toehold in a brave new world.
The moon is really a member of Earth’s family rather than a distant neighbor – it was once a part of our planet, after all. Moon Corps heroes are exploring a natural extension of Earth’s fantastic, dynamic household.
Our Process is: Water + Farm + Kitchen = Pizza
There’s ice that needs to be mined, a farm that needs to be tended, and a delicious dinner to make… Doing ordinary work in an extraordinary place is just part of our everyday routine. Our international program believes that the way we go matters: humans are our focus, and they can’t go far without water, fresh food and the ability to sit down with community. Moon Corps aims to bring brave space workers together and keep them nourished, body and soul. You can be part of that… Join the Moon Corps!
