A Swedish artist has asked experts to help design one of Sweden's iconic little red cottages - but this one will stand on the Moon. Mikael Genberg has recruited the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) to help plan the operation. The little red houses are found across the Swedish countryside, but Mr Genberg says he wants this one to become "an international symbol". He says if everything goes to plan, the house may appear on the Moon in 2011.

Mr Genberg has arranged a competition for students and companies to design a house that could be contained in a small, light package, that would open up once landed on the Moon's surface. The state-owned SSC has been happy to get involved in the project, which could cost 500m kroner (£36m).
