Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

“In 2019 and 2020, open lunar made deposits on launch services to carry a small spacecraft into earth orbit as a technology test for a new piece of open source hardware. Due to the pandemic, this flight did not occur and the engineering team was disbanded. As of 2022 the right to use the deposit toward flights in the future has expired and now these deposits are program expenses appearing on our books in 2022”
