IM GOING TO STEAL THE MOON

(with inflatables, for the Christmas lights show)

🎈

THE PLAN: Build a 200-inch inflatable moon by December.
THE PROBLEM: Ive never made an inflatable before.
THE SOLUTION: Start with a tiny 20-inch moon in July and test literally everything.

🎯 MISSION BRIEFING

🌙

The Target

One giant inflatable moon. 200 inches of glorious sphere. Visible from space (probably).

🎄

The Occasion

Christmas lights show at work. Because nothing says "festive" like STEALING THE MOON.

🔬

The Scientist

I work on space science. Ive seen 200-inch balloons. I know this is possible (maybe).

🎬

The Inspiration

Everyone says this sounds like Despicable Me. Theyre not wrong. Im embracing it.

📅 THE HEIST TIMELINE

July: Baby Moon

Build a 20-inch prototype. Learn what "seam" means. Cry a little. Iterate.

Aug-Nov: TESTING EVERYTHING

Try every fabric. Test every adhesive. Break things. Fix things. Repeat 47 times.

nylon vinyl ripstop ???

December: MOONRISE

Deploy the 200-inch beast. Lights. Camera. Inflatable moon. Victory dance.
