I have no idea what category to put this under, so I'm going with travel as I know it. Apologies to mods if wrong.

A user on reddit has purchased a 'Moonbox' from NASA contractor Astrobotic last October.

"In it I'm planning to put two 1TB microSD cards for a project of mine. This ended up being way more space than the project required. One of the cards is completely empty!

Therefore I'm giving out 10MB of storage space for free on a first come, first serve, limited supply basis. Again, I'm doing this completely for free and asking for nothing in return."

Rules:

  1. Your Reddit account must have been created prior to January 25th, 2021.
  2. You can send 10MB in images, video, audio, and/or text. It's up to you how you want to divide this up, but please keep submissions within 10MB. I'm happy to compress your files if you know a compressed version is <10mb
  3. Submissions that are..
    3a. Images/Video/Audio must be loaded to an image host such as imgur.com or a video host such as vimeo.com. You would send me the link to the Image/Video/Audio file when you're ready to make your submission.
    3b. Text can be commented below or sent in a PM to me. Just make it clear by saying you want your message sent to the Moon.
  4. All submissions must be SFW & legal. Be mindful of copyright & distribution laws.
  5. All submissions must be sent by February 8th, 2021.

For more Earth-based travel, you can search for flights or hotels for a trip at Beat That Flight. To be notified about flight/hotel deals, visit Beat That Flight or follow Beat That Flight on Facebook.

    This is going to end horribly amazing while also summarising humanity perfectly.

    Edit: just looked through the comments and there's quite a few serious/genuine ones too. Redditors surprise me sometimes.

      It's in /r/space so it's a tad different to thedonald or something with degenerates. Also, it's one of the most unique things I've seen since sh*ttywatercolour guy that knocked about.

              @[Deactivated]: I call it nitpicking at best, plain wrong at worst.

              https://www.space.com/24870-what-is-space.html

              From the perspective of an Earthling, outer space is a zone that occurs about 100 kilometers (60 miles) above the planet, where there is no appreciable air to breathe or to scatter light. In that area, blue gives way to black because oxygen molecules are not in enough abundance to make the sky blue

              Also this

              https://www.dictionary.com/browse/space

              space

              of, relating to, or concerned with outer space or deep space:

                    @b2dz: Sure. You quoted 100km above and now say beyond Earth's atmosphere. Which one is it or does it alter for gelflings? The Sun is a region beyond Earth's atmosphere. That's a whole lot of star to be classified as space. The Sun is not space nor in outer space. It's the dense centre of a solar system and you want to call it space? It probably doesn't meet your blueness definition unless you stare at it too long and smell burning.

                      @[Deactivated]: I don't know, I'm not an expert and not pretending to be one, nor trying to dig myself out of a ridiculous point i was trying to make trying to sound smart on a forum. But I have faith that NASA may know what they're talking about. If you must keep digging, here's an interesting article that explains some of the different common interpretations of space including the Karman line which is used in aviation, other military definitions and also to escape it completely, you may need to travel up to 600miles.

                      https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/content/where-space#

                      None of which get anywhere close to say "space" is more than 380,000km away, which is the average distance to the moon from Earth, which is what your original point was.

          The surface of the moon is not space.

          Reddit is made up of specialised interest groups called 'subreddits' so the one I'm mentioning is called /r/space which is a subreddit that this post is featured on! Have a look for similar content that revolves around the subject matter.

          Glad to see you understand that the moon is an object with a surface, there's plenty more neat info there for you to tackle!

          The surface of the moon is not space

          I've checked comments above, OP and link and nowhere is anyone claiming the surface of the moon is space. The only reference to space is the 1TB of space on the spare microSD card. Unless you're stating moon topics shouldn't be in r/space? I don't see the relevance of this comment.

    The logistics of having 100,000 people send him data and then him placing that on SD cards scares me.

        I gave up on believing humans care about ecological sustainability, when on ozbargain there was a thread with people clambering to order Voss water delivered for $3 a bottle via Amazon US.

        A bottle of Norwegian water, bulked shipped to the US, to be individually air freighted to Australia, then couriered to your door for $3.

        People don’t care about the planet, in spite of what their cardboard sign at a rally says.
