“If there’s anything the world needs right now, it’s a house on the moon.” If you guessed Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos said this, you’re forgiven. But this is a Swedish artist, and he’s not talking about the kind of house you’re thinking of.

On January 15, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket taken off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, pushing Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander and ispace’s Resilience lander toward the Moon. Aboard the Resilience lander, however, is something unusual: a toy white-trimmed red Swedish cottage called the Moonhouse, which is also reserved—as the name suggests—for the Moon. As detailed in Mikael Genberg’s websitethe artist has dreamed of placing his Moonhouse on the lunar surface for a quarter century, and now that dream is closer than ever to becoming a reality.

“So what does this mean? What does it mean? What do you mean?” Genberg asked in a video statement. He had a very simple answer: “It’s art.” And while he says that art does not carry meaning or purpose, it raises questions.

“By placing something as simple and down to earth as a red house in a place as far away, inhospitable and colorless as the moon, Mikael Genberg questions our perception of what is possible and meaningful to the universe,” reads the description of the project on The Moonhouse website. “Additionally, The Moonhouse carries a poetic tone. It reminds us of our roots and our home on Earth while symbolizing our dreams and ambitions to explore and expand beyond our known borders.

Genberg’s little red houses have previously appeared all over the world in trees, underwater, on the Great Wall of China, and even on the International Space Station. A few months from now, the Japanese-made Resilience lander is scheduled to land on the northern region of the near side of the Moon. The Moonhouse has been secured by the micro rover Tenacious, which will deploy from the lander to explore the lunar surface, according to a company. statement.

Then, “it has to release the house, take some pictures and let it stand there for thousands and thousands, maybe millions of years,” Genberg explained in the video. If all goes according to plan, Moonhouse will be not only the first art project on the Moon, but also technically the first building of the moon (that we know). Since its inception, Genberg has raised between $620,000 and $888,000 to fund the project, including the flight, as reported by Associated Press.

Currently, the Moonhouse is sharing a ride with other cargo including a food production experiment, a deep space radiation probe, water electrolyzer equipment, a commemorative alloy plate of a group of entertainment and engineering in Japan, and of course, Tenacious the rover.

In the end, the first building on the Moon isn’t the kind of structure we all think it is—but can we rule out the possibility that it’s the perfect size for some extra-terrestrial life out there? I don’t think so.
