The world first came into contact with the moon in 1969. But despite Neil Armstrong’s landmark arrival, we have not had the chance to develop our link with the planet. Not yet.

DHL, one of the world’s leading shipping companies, recently announced that they are stepping up their mailing services to another level. With the Peregrine Lander’s upcoming mission in July 2021, they have begun taking in applications from people who wish to send the first artifacts of humanity to the moon. Yes, the moon!

From scientific instruments to artistic and educational materials, DHL’s partnership with Astrobotic’s lunar mission is, for the first time, allowing humans to send any object they desire to be immortalized.

When you access their website, you will come across a variety of categories of items to choose from. Catering to governments and businesses to individuals, DHL aims to transport items for purposes of brand promotion and data collection to the simple wish of sending a piece of a person’s life to the moon’s surface.
