The Moon Village Association (MVA), dedicated to the peaceful exploration and settlement of the Moon, is proposing a symbolic event on the Moon to coincide with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, either in 2024 in Paris or 2026 in Milan/Cortina.
“Showcasing Olympic Games on the Moon will be for the public a concrete example of the implementation of the Moon Village, and a demonstrative pilot case of Earth-based activities that can be carried over onto the Moon in an innovative new manner,” said Giuseppe Reibaldi, MVA president in a press release.
“These symbolic Olympic Games on the Moon will signal a new auspicious landmark for humanity and stimulate public inspiration; whilst at the same time attracting the interest and bringing in the involvement of industries that have never been involved before on Moon and Space related activities.”
Details are expected to be announced at the 3rd Moon Village Workshop and Symposium in Japan this December.
