No one lives on the Moon, but a Swedish artist plans to put a home there anyway. Artist Mikael Genberg and a team of engineers (building experts) constructed a little red house that’s expected to land on the Moon in a few months.

“In my mind, [it was a] really poetic thought to put a red house with white corners on the surface of the Moon,” Genberg said in a video posted on the Internet. “And now it’s going to happen.”

At 4.7 inches (12 centimeters) long, 3.1 inches (8 cm) wide, and 3.9 inches (10 cm) tall, the Moonhouse is the size of a toy. But unlike a typical dollhouse, it’s made of aluminum and is designed to withstand its journey into space, says Emil Vinterhav, head of the Moonhouse technical team.

“The house structure has undergone…shock and vibration tests to ensure it can…survive intact in its new climate,” Vinterhav said in a statement. “Even just finding a durable red paint for the house is a story in itself.”

This won’t be the first trip to space for the Moonhouse. It has already been high up in trees, under water, atop the Great Wall of China, and aboard the International Space Station, which is 248 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth.

For its latest journey, the house was launched into space aboard a Japanese lunar lander in January. It’s expected to take four months to reach the Moon. Once there, the Moonhouse is there to stay.

“[The lander] should release the house, take some pictures, and leave it alone standing there for thousands and thousands and maybe millions of years,” Genberg said.
