Various nations will fly to the moon within the next ten years: India, Japan, Europe, and China. Chinese President Hu Jintao already announced he will allow broadcast MMS messages for mobile phones to be sent from the moon. To counter these global efforts with art and design, we have developed the idea to create a second moon, somewhat the size of a tennisball, equipped with displays and cameras for interaction in real space. A commercial usage would probably allow us to derive NGO-like structures from such a pico satellite in order to support, promote, and develop alternative media and politics. The MoonPeace Project is about a fake moon in real orbit and the potentiality of such an artificial moon for real worlds.
