Swedish Cottages on the Moon

Well, now that i’m a Swedish language student (see previous post), I need to stay on top of all the big news in Sweden.

The Swedish government has started a competition to design a red Swedish cottage, which they intend to fly to the moon, in order to mark them as the potential third country to have occupied the lunar surface.

“If we manage to do this Sweden will be the third country to occupy the moon”, said SSC’s Fredrik von Schéele.

A competition has been arranged for students to construct a little red house that is suitably sized for placement by a moon landing device. The construction may not exceed eight square metres and can weigh a maximum of four kilos.

  • The cottage must be red.

    Sweden has passed a law stating that all cottages on the moon must be red. The reason for this is red is the only color that makes sense. Any country found to be placing non-red cottages on the surface of the moon will be nuked.
