Pre-Launch Status (Aug 09)

COM = Cross on the Moon

At the time of this writing (Aug 10, 2009), COM’s web site is one week away from going public. We have been testing our beta site for 2 weeks. Without any announcements, there have been several global comments and all were positive. We had about a dozen donations, mostly from testing the web-site’s e-commerce flow but also a few cash contributions. Most inspiring to date was $6 from Zach, a seventh grader with a keen interest to be an astronaut.

We believe COM is the first Christian Space Mission to the Moon. We are negotiating with a capable technical team who could safely transport the cross and robotically place it on the moon.

The ticket price for any “moon bus” is expensive but we are not shoudering the costs alone. We hope to announce the name of the private enterprise soon. They and COM do not have conflicting interests.

In September, COM plans to post a Christian music video. We appreciate your prayers. COM’s success will only be because our Lord is in control. We are servants using the gift and umbrella of grace He provides.

Stay tuned for more updates….

Michael Clark, Cross on the Moon President

Incorporated July 21, 2009

COM = Cross on the Moon

COM filed papers of incorporation in the State of Pennsylvania on July 20th, 2009. This was 40 years after the first man stepped on the moon. We filed papers with the IRS 5 days later for tax exemption. We expected a favorable letter before 2009 tax returns were due April 15, 2010. Instead, we received our tax-exempt status on July 22, 2011.

Our Fed ID is 27-0464654

Our State ID is 3894863

We filed with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a charitable organization. We also published our intent to incorporate as a non-profit with the Pittsburgh Legal Journal and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

COM has 5 directors from which we draw three officers:  executive director (president), secretary, and treasurer. No board member receives a salary.
