Archivio Lunare
Her name, her line and her story, cut into nickel on Disc I and placed on the Moon for a billion years.
An entry as it is cut, readable with a microscope and daylight. The names shown are invented samples.
A nickel archive of three thousand life stories, each told by the family that put it there, with a ring of free entries around them. It is planned to fly to the Moon on a commercial lunar lander.
Her place on the Moon, for good, and a certificate with her record on it, to print and put in her hands.

“Eat first, then we talk.”
The archive is meant to carry as many lives as it can, so the ring costs nothing.
The three thousand whole stories carry the flight.
It takes about five minutes: her record, her line, her story, your name.
Her record, her line and her story are on the free ring of Disc I.
Her entry among the others, as the ring is planned to be cut. The other names are invented samples.
Archivio Lunare is building an archive of human life stories for the people of the far future: ten thousand by 2030, cut in nickel and placed on the Moon.
Disc I is the first, with three thousand stories and the free ring around them.
A microscope reads it in daylight, with no computer, and nickel on the Moon keeps for a billion years.
Archivio Lunare is a project of Rencix SIA, a small company in Latvia, started in 2026 by its founder, Renārs.
We are new, and we say so. The disc format and the etching have flown before, made by others.
Not a page about her, but her whole life, in her own words, on the Moon for the next billion years.
Her great-great-grandchildren will know her, and so will people none of us will ever meet, long after everything else about her is gone.
All she has to do is answer the phone, and her book comes home by spring.
Put Mom’s story on the MoonDisc I, a nickel archive of human life stories planned for the Moon.
Her whole life story: not yet on Disc I.
We email it to you, to print and give her.
Nothing on Earth lasts like this.
No air, no water, no rain, and nothing to rot or burn. Nickel on the Moon stays readable for a billion years.
1969 A disc of messages from 73 countries, left on the Moon by Apollo 11.
1977 Voyager’s gold-plated record of human voices, now in interstellar space.
2024 A nickel library of the same format as Disc I, landed near the Moon’s south pole, made by others.
Her story would be the next one, and it would be hers.
Put Mom’s story on the MoonHer book, in her own words, her voice, and her section of Disc I, registered in her name, hers to give or to will.
Generations she will never meet will still know her, and the family will have her in their hands long before the flight.
