What does it take to launch a divine symbol into deep space? In this truly one-of-a-kind conversation, space industry insider and entrepreneur Justin Park reveals his ambitious and deeply personal mission: to place a permanent cross on the moon by 2029. However, this isn’t science fiction; it’s a real, strategic initiative that blends faith, space policy, entrepreneurship, and the power of storytelling to capture global attention.
Justin’s journey began with a dream, and not just a metaphorical one. His late mother appeared to him as an angel, igniting a purpose that now drives every decision he makes. Backed by a space career that includes stints at NASA and the International Space University, Justin is no amateur dreamer. His Cross on the Moon Coalition is a bold, technically sound, spiritually driven campaign that challenges what we think is possible in both faith and science.
Whether you're religious or not, this conversation pushes you to consider the bigger picture of why we’re here and how human legacy and culture will extend beyond Earth.

Space Policy Meets Spirituality – Why the Outer Space Treaty, launch regulations, and deep space communications are critical to this mission, and how Justin is navigating the bureaucratic and technical hurdles.
Feasibility and Funding – What it will cost to land a 10-foot cross on the moon, how Justin plans to raise $40–50 million, and why he believes the number is a “rounding error” in the grand scheme of visionary philanthropy.
The Vision Behind the Cross – How Justin sees the moon landing as a cultural and spiritual milestone, and why he believes God should be leading humanity’s expansion into space.
Handling Criticism and Cultural Tension – The honest feedback he’s received from both the faith-based and scientific communities, and how he reframes skepticism into productive dialogue.

A Global Moment in the Making – How the moon landing will be live-streamed, what cameras they’re using, and why Justin wants the entire world watching as the cross unfolds in space with Earth in the background.
