SYNERGY MOON ARTS AND CULTURE GROUP
The history of SYNERGY MOON is the coming together of two organizations, Human Synergy Project and Interplanetary Ventures. These two organizations entered the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition and shortly after partnered with Interorbital Systems and RPC Telecommunications, thus creating SYNERGY MOON.
SYNERGY MOON is an eccentric, electrifying merge of the arts and sciences. We represent a collaboration of individuals from over 15 countries and our numbers are growing. We are an official team in the Google Lunar X PRIZE, and also pioneers in human space travel and interplanetary exploration. Our technological innovations make manned orbital travel, personal satellite launches, and Solar System colonization cost-effective, and above all, possible for everyone. Through aerospace research and development, rocket launch services,
and a wide range of public events and awareness campaigns, we aim to inspire and invigorate humanity's desire to explore the Moon, Mars, and space beyond.
Team SYNERGY MOON is competing in The Google Lunar X PRIZE, a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Additional bonus prize objectives and global art projects involved solidify our inclusion and commitment with everyone that shares our interest in space.

MOJAVE, Calif. (November 5, 2009) --The arts and culture group is a developmental and integral part of our project, focused on producing cultural events and artwork. One definition of art (out of the thousands of definitions) is a creative imagining of anything and everything in the human experience. Certainly what we are doing on the science and technology side are part of the human experience, and part of a story that can be told through art. Science, engineering and technology have played an important part of many cultures in the past, and are represented in many of the most enduring examples of ancient civilizations. We want art to be an intentional part of our project, not an after thought, and we want to make as many cultural connections as we can to help humanize our project, our activities.
The events we are planning leading up to our mission will provide an outlet for our arts component, while also providing promotions for our team. The promotions are an intentional effect, but not the primary intent of the events. We will also execute parts of our educational outreach at these events, and provide a glimpse into the various channels that will be available to view the progress of our lunar mission, creative channels, not just dry scientific mission reporting.
