4 | LLE will be an explore-able map with Augmented and virtual reality. |
5 | Visitors will be able to explore the Apollo landing sites as well as the upcoming Artemis sites. |
6 | We will build out a lunar gravity simulator with obstacle course for guests. |
7 | BTS will host rocket launch competitions challenging competitors to land on specific lunar sites. |
8 | We have 4 investors who invested $125,000 or more, and 3 Apollo astronauts who went to the Moon. |
Danielle Dallas Roosa, granddaughter of Apollo 14 command module pilot Stuart Roosa came up with the concept three years ago. The goal then, and still is to have a for-profit platform that entertains and inspires a broad interest in space, engineering, and science. People think there is a lot of that, but unfortunately, the trend shows just the opposite. The US is quickly falling behind the world in the production of engineers. Our country's strength is the technology we produce, and now, we cannot find young talent to fill the job requirements.
In the summer of 2017 Michael Gorton began looking at the concept. As a serial entrepreneur who has built significant companies, he agreed to join the team under the following two conditions: 1.) He must be allowed to create a business model capable of creating significant shareholder value, and 2.) The end result of the company must have a significant impact. Back To Space does both.
In a few months, we will begin construction of a Guinness Book of World Records - scale map of the Moon. It will in fact, be the largest map on the planet. Like everything else, the Lunar Landscape Experience will inspire, and generate income for our stakeholders. Scale of 1 foot to 12 miles. 180-foot diameter, 25,447 square ft will be poured in reinforced concrete lasting for hundreds of years. Visitors will be able to walk on it and explore the features and surface. Embedded in the Moon, using GPS positioning, will be Augmented reality (software) that will be regularly updated so visitors can explore landing sites and see what the Moon really looks like from where they are standing. Lunar rover competitions for schools around the world. LED lighting will be installed to give us the ability to host Blue Moon, Harvest Moon, eclipses with Blood Red Moon and other Lunar festivals. Lunar rover competitions will be hosted for schools around the world. Students will navigate obstacle course from their home school room. Back To Space will sponsor regular rocket launch and landing competitions on the Giant Lunar Map.
In the artist rendition below, you can see the scale of the map.
In the summer of 2018, the company was ready to begin operations. We signed up three Apollo astronauts: Walt Cunningham - Apollo 7, Al Worden - Apollo 15, and Charlie Duke - Apollo 16. They agreed to work with 25 high school aged kids focused on "Exponential STEM." The kids had to be smart in STEM curricula, but they also had to be diversified in their interests AND great communicators. Their job is to inspire kids their age through the concept: If you can see one, you can be one. The Group One Ambassadors have done several interviews of prominent people in space, including NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charlie Duke, Apollo 8 and 13 astronaut Jim Lovell, NASA mission patch designer Tim Gagnon and several more.
Clearly, the best known and loved space movie is Apollo 13. Christopher Cowen was one of the young researchers on Apollo 13, who went on to produce Magnificent Desolation (IMax), From Earth to the Moon (HBO miniseries) and several other award-winning programs. Chris brought in Hayma Washington, former chairman of the Television Academy, and executive producer of The Amazing Race. We have worked with these two giants to create a TV show that we are now taking to the major networks. Our current goal is to select a TV network for the program in mid-2020.
As of January 1, 2020, we are in the 10th week of a YouTube series called Space News Flash, which we have been releasing every Monday morning. In the 10 weeks, we have had over 500,000 views. We recognize how competitive this sector is, but we also know how to create good content that is entertaining and consistent. We have managed to develop collaborations wand partnerships with Aviation Daily, SpaceFund, Universe Today and a few others. Growth through marketing and collaborations is our primary goal over the coming year.
Back To Space has financial statements ending December 31 2019. Our cash in hand is $23,945, as of September 2019. Over the three months prior, revenues averaged $0/month, cost of goods sold has averaged $29,190/month, and operational expenses have averaged $81,400/month.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this offering. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information regarding the strategy and plans for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We produce digital media focused on STEM with the twist of being exciting and inspirational. We are also working with two of the most accomplished producers in Hollywood to create a new TV show.
Both the digital and traditional media channels have two goals:
1. Create revenue and stakeholder value
2. Have an impact that inspires interest in science, engineering and space.
We hope to be profitable, a top 10 digital influencer online, and a number one reality TV show. Inspiring students and adults to love science and engineering
Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
Milestones
Back To Space, LLC was incorporated in the State of Texas in December 2017.
Since then, we have:
Historical Results of Operations
Our company was organized in December 2017 and has limited operations upon which prospective investors may base an evaluation of its performance.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
To-date, the company has been financed with $40,000 in debt and $1,136,190 in equity.
After the conclusion of this Offering, should we hit our minimum funding target, our projected runway is 2 months before we need to raise further capital.
We plan to use the proceeds as set forth in this Form C under "Use of Funds". We don’t have any other sources of capital in the immediate future.
We will likely require additional financing in excess of the proceeds from the Offering in order to perform operations over the lifetime of the Company. We plan to raise capital in 24 months. Except as otherwise described in this Form C, we do not have additional sources of capital other than the proceeds from the offering. Because of the complexities and uncertainties in establishing a new business strategy, it is not possible to adequately project whether the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to enable us to implement our strategy. This complexity and uncertainty will be increased if less than the maximum amount of securities offered in this offering is sold. The Company intends to raise additional capital in the future from investors. Although capital may be available for early-stage companies, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive any investments from investors.
Runway & Short/Mid Term Expenses
Back To Space, LLC cash in hand is $23,945, as of November 2019. Over the last three months, revenues have averaged $0/month, cost of goods sold has averaged $29,190/month, and operational expenses have averaged $81,400/month, for an average burn rate of $110,590 per month. Our intent is to be profitable in 24 months.
The financial statements are as of November 14, 2019 and this entry is as of November 16, 2019 so there has been little change. We have received an additional investment of $25,000. In addition, our social media subscribers have increased substantially.
We have access to capital from private individuals and expect to due so in the future. We expect our social media revenue to increase substantially over the next six months, but we also intend to ramp up our social media expense to accelerate the trend. If need be, we can also use personal capital from the founding team and pause operations to limit expenses.
We hope to air our television program in Fall of 2020. The total cost of the first season will cost approximately $12 million to complete. Our goal is to have whatever television network that agrees to air the show fund the remainder of the cost, as that is typical in the industry. If that does not work, we will solicit accredited investors in our network to fund a total of $4,000,000, which we can use to create a smaller season of the show than we originally hope.
In season 1, we hope to generate approximately $100,000 per episode in revenue, although this cannot be guaranteed. We hope to produce 12 episodes per season at two seasons per calendar year with the intent of growing each year.
1 | Success is dependent on certain Apollo astronauts and other luminaries. Most of the people are advanced in age, and able to be independent. There can be no assurance they will continue to work with the Company. |
2 | Company works with STEM-oriented children in middle school and high school and beyond as student researchers. Such students participate in Company-sponsored events. Children are subject to immature decisions and there can be no assurance that such children will not have a negative experience, or charge that they did. |
3 | Success of the traditional media component relies on our ability to secure a contract with a TV network. |
4 |
In addition to the funds from this Offering, we will need additional Capital to complete production. Failure to raise needed funds could delay or inhibit our ability to produce content and generate revenue. |
5 |
In order to produce our show, we will have to hire key personnel that are integral to production. If we are unable to procure these hires, we will not produce content to the same quality we imagined. |
6 | Participant acknowledges that units have not been registered and may not be sold unless some liquidity event occurs. |
7 | Our success relies on the ability of management to implement and navigate the very complex and crowded digital media space. |
8 | Our future success depends on the efforts of a small management team. The loss of services of the members of the management team may have an adverse effect on the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining other personnel we require to successfully grow our business. |
