Space NGO Proposes Planting U.N. Flag on the Moon

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 — Adriano V. Autino, CEO and Founder of Space Renaissance International (SRI), unveiled an initiative urging future lunar missions to prioritize planting the United Nations flag on the Moon, according to their press release.

Speaking at the Aerospace Innovation Research Summit hosted in Hong Kong, Autino outlined this proposal in an open letter to the directors of the Artemis coalition and China’s International Lunar Research Station (ILRS).

He called for whichever nation first returns to the Moon to plant the U.N. flag before its national emblem, symbolizing global unity and cooperation in space exploration.

“Space exploration and settlement are not just national endeavors, but a shared human journey,” Autino emphasized. “Planting the U.N. flag on the Moon would be a powerful testament to our unity and cooperation as we venture into the cosmos.”

Space Renaissance International (SRI) is a non-profit organization “dedicated to promoting the peaceful civilian development and further exploration of outer space for the benefit of all humanity.”
