    We plan to send an unmanned robotic landing module to the South Pole of the Moon – an area unexplored by previous missions.

    We’re going to use pioneering technology to drill down to a depth of at least 20m – 10 times deeper than has ever been drilled before – and potentially as deep as 100m. By doing this, we will access lunar rock dating back up to 4.5 billion years to discover the geological composition of the Moon, the ancient relationship it shares with our planet and the effects of asteroid bombardment. Ultimately, the project will improve scientific understanding of the early solar system, the formation of our planet and the Moon, and the conditions that initiated life on Earth.

    They aim to raise £500m from public donations over the next four years.

    The perks are dodgy enough but the first phase is being crowdfunded here.
