EXPEDITION 001 / THE NEAR SIDE

Walk on
the Moon.

Walk an imagined lunar landscape, jump in low gravity, and discover craters, rocks, and Earth above the horizon.

No download. Just a little curiosity.

THE EXPEDITION FIELD GUIDE

Take the long way home.

This is a small, freely explorable lunar landscape, not a whole-planet simulation. The three observation points are different views of the same place.

Follow the amber guide dots and distance arrow. Walk up to a stop and press E or Discover to add it to your journal. Quick travel does not automatically record a discovery.

Moving around

You are exploring on foot as an astronaut. Walk with W A S D or the arrow keys; Shift gives a brisker pace. Press Space to jump, then wait to land before jumping again. Momentum carries you forward in the air. Drag to look, including down at your boots. Touchscreens have direction and Jump buttons. H hides notes; P opens photo mode; Esc closes it.

Disable head motion for a steadier view.

Science meets imagination

Impact craters, airless skies, subdued rock colors, and hard sunlight are inspired by lunar science. Terrain, rock placement, and observation points are procedural art, not survey data. Earth's apparent size and placement are composed for this scene, not calculated for a real date or location.

There is no wind sound in this near vacuum. Jumps use a constant lunar surface gravity of 1.62 m/s². The chosen 1.8 m/s takeoff gives about 1 metre of rise and 2.2 seconds in the air on level ground. Pace, takeoff strength, and camera motion are comfort settings, not a full spacesuit simulation.

This is an imagined site, not a surveyed landing site or an identified lunar sample.
