“There are Some Things Only The Moon has Seen” is a hex to reverse the moon landing, which celebrates it’s 50th anniversary next month in July. In a realty where so much of the world’s resources have been wasted on a futile, militarized, and detestable race to colonize outer space, we believe those resources should have been used to further things like human rights causes and focusing on averting the climate disaster that our planet is heading into. 


We do not agree with propaganda & nationalistic styled narratives about sending (some) humans into space when we have exhausted the resources of Earth. Those narratives make us angry. We think inner space and parallel dimensions are a far richer topic, and should be a focus of scientists, philosophers, academics, thinkers, artists & magicians who are looking for ways to escape the apocalyptic future we have been sold. 


We also think that spaceships are ugly phallic symbols and wanted to question gendered ideas around the moon, and land/space in general. Why must the void always be seen to be ‘pregnant’? We’d like to see Neil and Buzz rewind back into the space ship, reverse and back-it-up back to Earth, and consider their carbon footprint. Let’s think about the forests for a while, boys? What could the world be like if we weren’t so focused on expansion at any and all costs?
