BUGSTED MakingOff
Project I directed and co created. Bugsted was an ordinary bug that was accidentally taken to the moon with the Apollo 11 mission, and then left behind when the astronauts left. Hidden away on the dark side of the moon, Bugsted developed a unique survival mechanism: spontaneous cloning. Each new challenge Bugsted faced resulted in a new clone to handle the situation. Before long, the dark side of the moon was inhabited by a whole community of Bugsteds. In September 2012, a space probe collecting moon samples accidentally brought a Bugsted back to Earth. That stressful, unexpected journey trapped in the space module triggered his defense mechanism, leading to the arrival of hundreds of Bugsteds on our planet. Stranded on Earth, they make it their mission to return to the Moon.
