Astronauts in the Jeruzalem Church
On the longest day of the year two astronauts land in Amsterdam-West. They do a warm-up jog on the square before going into the Jerusalem Church where they get fitted into their suits.
According to palaeontologysts the first objects to be vererated were meteorites, and the metal in them. Later this was extended to monoliths, which were used as burial stones or judgementstones. In time this would also include stone statues, ivory or wooden statues, and long after that all kinds of religious relics and works of art. But it started apparently with astroliths.
Mission to the Moon
A re-enactment of the Apollo 11 mission of 1969. Foamlab not only recycles this icon of technological confidence, but also the materials used to build it.

They exit the Lander accompanied by the original sound recordings from the Moon landing in '69, for general exploration of the lunar-surface, setting-up lunar camera's, collecting stone samples and planting the flag.
