high claims

Over the moon

Wonder what it would be like to own a house on the moon? Well, if Mikael Genberg, a Swedish artist, has everything going for him, then he might soon become the proud owner of a house on the moon. Forty-four-year-old Genberg, who launched his ‘red-house-on-the-moon’ project in 2003, has won the support of the Swedish Space Corporation recently. He has sponsorships worth millions of pounds from his local county council and the Swedish Employment Minister. Genberg said the project will have an unmanned landing, and the house has to be very light so that it can survive for a long time on the moon. The 10 sq.m house which Genberg has in mind will be placed within a package that will turn itself into a proper structure after it lands on the moon. And if all goes well then Sweden will become the third country in the world to win a claim on the moon.

gown story

This antique piece of clothing was made in 1864 by Eleanor Thornber. Jessica’s mother admitted that much to her surprise, the gown looked as good as new when it was taken out of the storage box. Now there’s a lesson to be learnt on how to preserve heirlooms.
