For the last two and a bit years, MoonDAO co-founder Pablo Moncada and his decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) have been working to create a self-sustaining colony on the moon.

The timeline? Just under seven years from now. 

That is, at least, the very ambitious goal of Moncada and the 5,000-member-strong MoonDAO that he co-founded in 2021. 

Moncada sees DAOs as a solution to a decades-long problem — that space exploration is completely inaccessible to everyday people. Moncada thinks his model could change the face of space travel and interstellar exploration, and, if successful, might even see people living on the moon by 2030.
