🌎 We did it.
Thanks to everyone who gave, shared, and cheered on Launch the Search. We surpassed our $50,000 public fundraising goal, and two supporters grew the match from $50,000 to $75,000 along the way—bringing the total to $123,913.24 for the SETI Institute and the MARBLE mission.
MARBLE is a bigger mission than this one campaign. There's more ahead, and we're glad you're part of it.
Are we alone? Let's go find out.
🌎 MARBLE is the SETI Institute's most ambitious mission yet: our first space observatory. It will study Earth from lunar orbit the way we'd study an inhabited world around another star, building the reference that future searches for life will use.
Swipe through to see every giving level. At $100 and above, you join the First Light Circle, and your name is laser-etched onto a film carried aboard the spacecraft.
