A flight into space and a tangible experience of what the first man in space Yuri Gagarin had the opportunity to experience. What if it were still possible to reach the moon and be able to repeat , "a small step for man, but a big one for mankind," like Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin?

Discover the cosmos with Copernic Space
So far, there are really only three space cowboys in the world who are closest to hyperspace exploration - Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson. The latter even accomplished this last year and took a flight into space. However, the average person, even earning above-average salaries, would not be able to afford a direct flight to the moon, because the cost of a flight for one man is million.. However, we can indulge in something else just as cool, which will ensure that everyone can add a part of themselves to the development of space exploration.

All thanks to the solution developed by the Polish-American project Copernic Space. The company's mission is, as you might guess, to fly to the moon. Funding this venture is expected to generate profit from the sale of dedicated NFTs, which are, among other things.. Acts of ownership of space.

Moreover, Copernic Space has created a dedicated marketplace for digital assets from the Web3 sector called SpaceMart. Companies registered on it present their offers of space resources.

- This is truly one of the greatest opportunities we can get to have our say in space. Availability and affordability is possible now. You don't have to be a multimillionaire to participate in space, assures Grant Blaisdell, CEO and co-founder of Copernic Space.
The main pillars of the space business are the aforementioned Grant Blaisdel and his mother, Eva Blaisdell known as , "Lady Rocket" and the inspiration to delve into the topic of space exploration came from Eva's father, who many years ago developed the theory of the democratization of space.

- We realized that space needed a dramatic solution that would enable the industry to offer on-demand space resources and investments in the commercial market to the general public, the project's official website reads.

A solid team and key connections  
The Copernic Space team currently consists of about 10 people. It also includes a very important figure associated with the space industry, namely Kevin O'Connell, former director of the Office of Space Commerce at the U.S. Department of Commerce and CEO of Space Economy Rising. In April 2022, he was announced as a member of the startup's Advisory Board. O'Connell will provide Copernic Space with the vast body of knowledge and influence he has accumulated over the past forty years working around this ecosystem.

The first space asset Copernic Space is offering is the opportunity to purchase cargo space on the MAPP Lunar Outpost rover, which is likely to arrive on the moon this year. And this is where NFT buyers can add their 3 cents to the historic escapade - for investors can not only purchase the rights to send a physical lunar payload through Copernic Space, but also divide the stokenized value of that payload into smaller batches and then resell them on the retail market.

NFT and philanthropy
What is an important asset of Lady Rocket and Company's operation is their philanthropic work. In 2021, an NFT token called "Satellite Rhino" was issued in partnership with Saving The Survivors. It is an organization whose mission is to work to help sustain South Africa's dwindling rhino population. A partnership with Copernic Space and the Lady Rocket Foundation has led to efforts to begin using satellite imagery and tracking technology to improve the process of saving endangered species of these creatures. - NFTs carry social, philanthropic value that can motivate people to take action, Lady Rocket said in an interview with Business Insider.

As you can see, the popular slogan , "To the Moon" in the cryptocurrency community takes on a whole new meaning thanks to Copernic Space. At a given moment, space travel still involves such high costs that few people in the world can afford to impersonate Anakin Skywalker, but that doesn't mean that we can't take these , "small steps" for humanity to have at least a substitute of this space for ourselves.
