A British team plans to send an unmanned space probe to the Moon and is raising its first round of funding from the public via crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
The project, known as Lunar Mission One, will bury a time capsule with a "digital memory box" beneath the Moon's surface - those who help fund it can get their name, photographs and other information added to it.
It is hoped the probe will be launched in around ten years and those pledging more than £600 will also be entered into a ballot to choose the name of the spacecraft.
The project is plainly ambitious and challenging, but its special cultural and scientific features should generate wide interest and support. It deserves to succeed.
