In the media

One of our priorities during the project has been to inspire and amaze the general public. We appeared in 14 printed newspapers in Denmark, 8 web-newspapers (that we know of) and where even invited for a radio interview on the radio station NOVA (the third most listened to radio station in Denmark). The week of our press release our story was THE most printed article from Ritzau news agency (the biggest news bureau in Denmark). This media attention was an excellent platform to engage in ethical discussion. We adressed and discussed this issue in a follow-up aritcle in one of the biggest newspapers in Denmark 'Politiken' and in the radio interview on NOVA. On this page you can see some headlines from selected papers as well as a full list of our media appearences.

Due to Danish press-laws, we are unable to deep-link to the articles themselves. Instead, every screenshot below links to the paper's main site (or the relevant section's site), from which a quick search for 'spacemoss' yields the relevant article
