Stockholm - Swedish artist Mikael Genberg plans to build a typical Scandinavian wooden cabin on the Moon in the coming years. This traditional red house was lifted by helicopter to the top of the 85-meter tall dome of the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm this week.
    According to the DPA agency, this was another in a series of clever marketing moves to promote the "lunar" project of the industrious artist, which he is reportedly working hard to realize. Viewers could thus get an idea of how beautifully Genberg's little house will stand out on the surface of the Moon.
    The enthusiastic artist has reportedly managed to convince Swedish authorities, who oversee space research, and private companies to provide him with the necessary 500 million Swedish crowns (about 1.25 billion CZK) to realize his dream.
    According to Genberg, the purpose of the "lunar" cabin, which will have a total volume of ten cubic meters and will be built from ultra-light materials, is primarily to show that people can overcome obstacles. He also seeks to draw attention to serious world issues. The dwelling is expected to be ready for an interplanetary journey as early as 2012.
