Moon Bound Book
Greater Earth to the Moon My artwork - Greater Earth - has been selected for inclusion in Moon Gallery Foundation’s Moon Bound book, scheduled for launch aboard Astrolab’s FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) lunar rover planned for delivery at the Nobile Region of the lunar south pole in late 2026. Moon Bound is a one-cubic-centimetre, hand-bound artists’ book containing 49 visual-art, poetry, and prose contributions in seven languages, all responding to the question: “How does the Moon see the Earth?” Greater Earth was selected to be in the Moon Bound Book Project Team Moon Gallery Foundation co-founders Anna Sitnikova [...]
Lunarology
“If God wanted man to become a spacefaring species, he would have given man a Moon.” Krafft A. Ehricke, 1984 [1] Arthur Woods (*), May 1, 2026 Greater Earth is a region defined by the Earth’s gravitational field, which includes the Moon. The region outside Earth’s atmosphere and extending out to just beyond the Moon’s orbit, including the Earth-Moon Lagrangian points, is referred to as cislunar space and contains approximately 95% of all of humanity’s space assets. Geolunar space is the region from the Moon to the Earth-Sun Lagrangian points located 1.5 million km outwards where the Earth’s gravitational influence is counter balanced by that [...]
Greater Earth Energy Synergies
The Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GE⊕-LPS) feasibility study funded by the European Space Agency and completed in 2023 represented an art-to-reality evolution of artworks that began with the OURS-Orbiting Unification Ring Satellite, the OUR-Space Peace Sculpture and the Millennium SEED space art projects. These orbital artworks which were designed to be deployed in orbit utilizing inflatable space technologies were continuously developed by adding space technologies and became authentic space projects. These projects have been developed by a multinational interdisciplinary collaborative team effort and are now being exhibited in art and science museums.

Cosmic Stones
Will humanity’s future be a “Space Age” or a “Stone Age”? The human species has reached a pivotal point in its evolutionary history, and it appears that the moment has arrived for it to make a critical choice about its future on Earth and, consequently, about its future in the cosmos. This decision could be called the “Cosmic Choice” which conceivably is a choice that all potential spacefaring civilizations must confront at the appropriate moment in their particular history. The Cosmic Stones space art project embodies this decision in a physical and conceptual artwork that literally and artistically combines the [...]
Transforming the Fossil Fuel Age into the Space Energy Age
The Space Energy Option Humanity is at a crossroads: we must decide if we prefer to live and prosper in an energy-rich world or attempt to survive in an energy poor-one. Finding a viable solution to the impending energy and climate crises confronting humanity is urgently necessary. The fundamental causes of these interrelated issues are the many environmental and geopolitical issues associated with the continued use of fossil fuels added to the fact that these are projected to become harder to extract, to distribute, and are more conflict prone. Policies to reduce energy consumption, and inadequate measures currently being implemented [...]
Enabling Peace off, with, and on Earth
The biggest obstacles to space development and to civilisation in general, are the wars over energy and other resources we are currently witnessing. The current period of shared prosperity, built upon and supported by a reliable global supply of fossil fuels is coming to an end. Today, more than two-thirds of the world’s traded fossil fuels comes from countries affected by war, sanctions, or blockades. This has made fossil fuel supplies increasingly limited and fragile, with a constant risk of further disruption. At the same time, easily available oil and mineral reserves are being depleted, economies are weak, debt is [...]
Greater Earth
A New And Transformational Perception of Our Planet Since the beginning of human history the perception of its home planet Earth has always influenced the way humanity has formulated its beliefs and conducted its affairs. When Earth was perceived of as the entire universe it gave rise to myths and religions that permeate and influence society into the present time. Space exploration has provided humanity a perception of the “Whole Earth” – a blue sphere defined by its atmosphere floating in the vast expanses of the cosmos. This perception has catalyzed the globalization of its cultures and [...]
