MDP-157: Second Astronaut Support Q4

Abstract

This proposal aims to continue and build upon advances made in Q3 with a support team surrounding Dr. Eiman Jahangir in the aftermath of his launch on New Shepard 26 as a representative of MoonDAO. This team will perform outreach for publicity and coverage via various media platforms, including podcasts, articles, and videos, to get the word out about the launch, Eiman, and MoonDAO and increase community involvement. This is a no MVP proposal. See Q3 Final Report
