Abstract
We want to tell exciting space stories through videos so more people can learn about space and feel inspired. Think of it like making a space TV show that follows real people, real missions, and real experiences—so anyone, even a kid, can understand and get excited about space.
Problem
MoonDAO is doing incredible work in the space ecosystem, but much of its impact is not being captured or shared in a compelling, consistent, and high-quality way.
Without strong storytelling and media:
- Community growth is slower
- Public awareness is limited
- Potential partnerships and funding opportunities are missed
- Educational impact is reduced
Solution
This proposal establishes a content production partnership with Thr33media to create high-quality, consistent video content showcasing MoonDAO's mission, people, and participation in the space industry.
Core Components
- Content Strategy
- Develop a unified media strategy targeting space enthusiasts, students, and future contributors
- Focus on storytelling, education, and inspiration
- Content Production
- Documentary-style storytelling (e.g., Frank White's journey)
- Educational videos explaining space topics
- Live streams of launches, events, and Q&A sessions
- Short-form content for social media growth
- Signature Creative Projects
-
Cinematic documentary following Frank White:
-
Childhood and inspiration
-
Journey to space launch
-
Vision for humanity in space
-
Space Camp coverage (May):
