THE ROAD TO MARS
Web3 Archive

Now is the most exciting time in human history. In the next decade, humanity will make its first permanent leap to another world. We are headed to Mars!

We are two space documentarians and artists. Our photo & film entries time capsules that allow you to collect and preserve an important piece of human history on the blockchain.

Mint, collect, and trade to earn special prizes and real-world experiences… like joining us for an epic day at Starbase in South Texas! Each collector is welcomed into our thriving space Discord community.

Epoch 1: The Dawn of the Starship Era

We have built the Road to Mars Archive. The first collection in our series contains 242 unique time capsules (a total supply of 1,420) with varying rarities tied to the real-life rarity of the moment we captured.

Collect our Cosmically-Rare Entries

There are 4 rarity levels in our collection. Keep an eye out for the “Cosmically-Rare” moments, like the moment that Starship was fully-stacked for the first time, or the first time Starship nailed its landing! Collecting these rare moments allows you to unlock exciting real-world prizes.

Collection Prizes with Utility & Real-World Experience

Mint, collect, and trade our Starship NFTs to earn real-world experiences!

Join us at Starbase

Collect 3 from each category (of which 2 are gold or silver) and you’ll have the opportunity to join us for an epic day of photographing Starship together at Starbase in South Texas! Mint special combinations to unlock more real-world prizes!

Join our Community

These entries are not only important time capsules for the future—they are also your ticket to our community of space fans, experts, and leaders. Join us for daily behind-the-scenes updates, celebrate rocket launches with us, and engage in exciting discussions on the future of our species.

Meet the Artists

In 2018, we co-founded Cosmic Perspective and have been chasing rockets together ever since, documenting over 100 launches with our cinema cameras. Now, we live next to Starbase, the spaceport of the future, where SpaceX is developing their Mars-bound rocket—the largest, most powerful rocket in history—Starship. We have dedicated our craft to documenting this historic time as humanity takes its first steps toward becoming a multi-planetary species. The Road to Mars begins here. We are building an archive for the future that pays homage to this pivotal time, and gathering an amazing community along the way. We’re driven and reverent for this work: To inspire hope and excitement for the future, unify the world through awe and wonder, and to archive for history what it is like to live in this exciting time.
