FAQ
A “DNA Space Crystal” is a process by which we use a proprietary scientific process to extract your DNA from hair samples and infuse your DNA into two crystalline solutions. We launch these solutions to space and while on orbit (traveling over 17,500 mph) in a weightless environment, we grow two totally unique synthetic crystals infused with your DNA. The current formula results in a crystal similar to an Amethyst (color, size, shape, and density can vary depending upon your unique characteristics).
Synthetic crystals grown on earth can look exactly alike, i.e. same size, shape, and colors and are essentially indistinguishable from each other. Space crystals, on the other hand, aren’t hindered by gravity and can grow into totally unique formations. Scientists have documented that there are no two snowflakes alike and the same is true for crystals grown in space. Not only that, but once you add your DNA into the mix, the crystals are totally unique to you and you alone.
Yes, this actually is real science! You will be part of scientific history by participating in this DNA research program.
- Crystals have never been grown to this size before in space. We have flown over 30 demonstration crystal solutions to prove we can actually do this, but we won’t know the size, shape, clarity, or density of your specific crystals until we actually grow them in space.
- The process of infusing your DNA into a crystal has never been done before, but our scientists have shown that this proprietary process, combined with storing the crystals in the Lunar Time Capsule has the best chance of preserving your DNA in the harsh environment of space indefinitely.
Like Ancestry.com and 23andme.com, we mail a DNA collection kit to you. The kit has everything you need to collect your DNA and return it safely to us. Unlike other companies, we collect your DNA through hair samples rather than saliva.
Customer flights to space and the return flights are currently scheduled for the end of the year so it is anticipated that you will receive your crystal by early to mid-next year based on current flight schedules (spaceflight schedules are subject to change based on launch provider). Members will receive consistent updates on launch and return dates as part of the program. This entire process will be documented and customers will receive photos and updates during the entire process.

While not required, we invite you to send data that will tell future space explorers that come across this time capsule who you were. Send content that tells your unique story, complimenting your unique crystal. You can send personal videos, papers/articles you have written, scans of awards, Facebook posts, Tweets, etc. No copyrighted materials will be accepted.
No. There are a few companies out there offering to send your DNA into space and even to the moon, but they either combine your DNA with thousands of other customers or turn your DNA into powder and put it in a very small disk. In addition, you don’t receive anything as part of those programs other than documentation, patches, or other paraphernalia. We have a proprietary process to infuse your DNA into your unique crystal and house it in a Lunar Time Capsule designed by Texas A&M University which cannot be duplicated. This process gives your DNA the best chance to be preserved indefinitely in space.
“The Crystal Connection” is the spiritual and quantum level connection that is shared between you and both of your personal crystals. Your crystals are grown simultaneously in space using your DNA, so the crystal you have on earth will forever be connected to the crystal on the moon. Every night when you look up at the moon you will know that the crystal you have here on Earth will forever be connected through space and time to your “Sister” crystal – 238,900 miles away – on the moon. We call that…”The Crystal Connection.”
