Back in March, the ASPIRE ONE Lunar Record successfully landed on the moon. It was a part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services within the Artemis program. The experiment involves putting a digital record of life here on Earth, on the moon. Think of it as a time capsule for anyone to possibly find in the future and see what life was like here during this time. A fascinating idea to say the least, that involved a lot of philosophical thinking during the creation process. To learn more about it, I got the chance to speak with Anamaria Berea, an associate professor at George Mason University.
