As you may have picked up from various Twitter chatter or podcast conversations, we’re in the middle of relocating the LoadingReadyRun office (affectionately known as the “Moonbase”) to a larger, better, warmer location. All of the principal moving is done, along with the painting and shelf-hanging and so on, and you’ll be happy to know that a fair amount of the process was documented in moving audio-pictures. We’re super-excited about the Moonbase Mark Three.

But there’s been one small problem…

We’ve lost it.

Oh! No, no no; we aren’t crazy. We haven’t lost our minds. We’ve just lost our Moonbase!

So we need your help to find it back. Scour the internet, peer through telescopes, pore over Captains’ starlogs, do whatever it takes (legally!) to find a map of the moon and locate our moonbase.

Keep in mind that the actual moonbase itself won’t be visible; after all, it’s an underground orbiting moonbase. But you should be able to discover some of the more likely hiding places, in craters, on the sides of mountains, in the middle of dusty plains… We’ll check the most likely locations and reward whoever finds it!

So, in summary, your task is to find a map of the moon somehow (I hear Google Earth has shots of the moon, as a starting point) and mark a location where you think the Moonbase Mk. III might be hidden. Send a screenshot (and, if possible, a link) to me by midnight PST on March 19, 2010. We’ll pick the best location from the submissions.

If you have any questions, leave a comment or send an email.

Good hunting!
