A 'moon bounce performance' is slated using artwork in collaboration with visual artist, Daniela DePaulis, and the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope in The Netherlands. The project will beam digitized versions of moon-inspired artwork by students to the moon to bounce the signal off of Earth's natural satellite. See some of the amazing artwork headed for the moon and back in this Space.com gallery of Moonbounce.
