Software engineer. The guy who put a meme on the Moon. I build things, then post about what broke.

In March 2025 an internet meme landed on the Moon. I made it. Doge in a spacesuit, captioned "I told you I'm going to the mooon!", sitting on an SD card inside a capsule in Mare Crisium. I write software in Trento for a living. Here's how that happened ↓

Agenzia delle Entrate, lezione di efficienza 🇮🇹 Avviso per il 2021 nato da un errore del MIO DATORE DI LAVORO sulla CU. Presento autotutela il 20 agosto. Silenzio. "In lavorazione". "Abbiamo problemi col sistema". La risposta arriva via PEC alle 15:51 dell'ULTIMO GIORNO utile. Se sei cittadino devi essere puntuale. Se sei lo Stato, basta una pausa caffè.

Same agent, same multi-step task, two brains: Grok 4.7 in the cloud, and Qwen3.8 Flash Next at IQ1_M on a single RTX 5080. Both caught the trap: the cooling upgrade improves PUE but raises the power bill 6.8%. Local: 77 tok/s, 128k context. Grok wrote more defensive code.

Same Hermes Agent, two backends: Grok 4.7 in the cloud and a heavily quantized Qwen3.8 Flash Next running locally on an RTX 5080.

The pictures this thread was missing: the artwork, a LifeShip pyramid like the one holding the SD card, and Blue Ghost's shadow on Mare Crisium with Earth overhead (photo: Firefly Aerospace).

Couldn't have happened without @CopernicSpace picking it for Moon Mission I, @goLifeShip storing it, and @FireflySpace landing it. Thanks for giving a meme a ride.

Since "my meme is on the Moon" reads like a scam tweet, receipts: - LifeShip letter signed by founder Ben Haldeman - LifeShip certificate of authenticity, full chain of custody - Copernic Moon Mission I certificate: "DOGE ASTRONAUT: TO THE MOON!"
