Nova Spivack, Co-founder of the Arch Mission Foundation (www.archmission.org<\/a>) will tell the story of the Lunar Library – an ultra-long term backup of planet Earth that was crash-landed on the Moon in 2019. He will show how it was made, what it contains, how it got to the Moon, and where it is now — And many untold stories may be revealed in this, the first public talk ever given about the Lunar Library.
\nNova has had a lifelong interest in space and the stars, perhaps in part due to the name his parents gave him, which means \u201cnew\u201d in Latin, and also has an astronomical meaning.\u00a0At a young age he attended an early Space Shuttle launch with his grandmother and nephews, as a gift from NASA, to his Grandfather, who at that time advised\u00a0NASA<\/a>.\u00a0Nova conceived of, and is the co-founder and Chairman of the\u00a0Arch Mission Foundation<\/a>, a not-for-profit foundation working to backup human civilization.<\/p>\n

He flew to the edge of space in 1999, and did zero-gravity training, with\u00a0Peter Diamandis<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Richard Garriott<\/a>, with the Russian Air Force and the Russian Space Agency.\u00a0He was a patron of the\u00a0Commercial SpaceFlight Federation<\/a>, and an early space angel investor in\u00a0Zero Gravity Corporation<\/a>\u00a0(acquired by\u00a0Space Adventures).<\/p>\n

Nova earned a professional graduate-level certificate degree from\u00a0The International Space University<\/a>\u00a0in Space Life Sciences, under the late Gerry Soffen, who\u00a0pioneered the Viking Lander search for life on Mars<\/a>\u00a0at NASA.\u00a0While with ISU he also interned to help design the Space Humanities Program under Overview Effect thought-leader,\u00a0Frank White<\/a>\u00a0and ISU co-founder\u00a0Todd Hawley<\/a>, and he worked on The Space Solar Power Program<\/a> international design project.<\/p>\n

In his sophomore year of college, Nova interned as a production assistant at Paramount Studios, working on the popular television show,\u00a0Star Trek, The Next Generation.<\/a><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"the-legend-of-the-lost-lunar-library-how-we-landed-a-30-million-page-library-on-the-moon","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2019-06-15 18:05:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2019","month":"06","day":"15","hour":"18","minutes":"05","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2019-06-15 18:05:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2019","month":"06","day":"15","hour":"18","minutes":"05","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2019-06-16 00:05:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2019","month":"06","day":"16","hour":"00","minutes":"05","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2019-06-16 00:05:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2019","month":"06","day":"16","hour":"00","minutes":"05","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Denver","timezone_abbr":"MDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Keynote","slug":"keynote","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":30,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":21,"filter":"raw","id":30,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/30","collection":"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"The Legend of the Lost Lunar Library — How We Landed a 30 Million Page Library on the Moon","description":"<p>Nova Spivack, Co-founder of the Arch Mission Foundation (www.archmission.org) will tell the story of the Lunar Library - an ultra-long term backup of planet Earth that was crash-landed on the […]<\/p>\\n","url":"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/event\/the-legend-of-the-lost-lunar-library-how-we-landed-a-30-million-page-library-on-the-moon\/","eventAttendanceMode":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus":"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled","startDate":"2019-06-15T18:05:00-06:00","endDate":"2019-06-15T18:05:00-06:00","location":false,"performer":"Organization"}}
