Cabot, Pennsylvania– June 2026- As we continue to march towards the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, we wanted to share another important project from our history, which celebrates our nation’s exceptionalism – the Moonshot 1911.

This natural successor to Cabot’s stunning meteorite pistols – The Big Bang Set – was crafted using lunar meteorite material and features a detailed depiction of the so-called Christmas Star—the great conjunction (alignment) of Jupiter and Saturn that occurred on December 21, 2020. Moonshot’s slide is finished with colored enamel that depicts Jupiter and Saturn next to each other as they appeared on that night.
A dynamic view of our solar system—from the perspective of the lunar surface—is captured by the painstaking placement of lunar meteorite, small diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and gold inlay.
These and other precious materials fire the imagination as they portray planets and stars racing along their celestial paths. The space-black slide provides the perfect backdrop for planetary orbits, shooting stars, and meteorites, rendered by Lee Griffiths’ expert touch. The astronauts and Apollo lunar module featured on the grips were cut out of steel plates, sculpted, and then carefully welded into place.
God bless the astronauts and those who made history alongside them.
