SmokeyTheBear · 01-09-2007, 10:22 PM

some crazy canadian plans on launching a 1000 ft banana into geostationary orbit over texas , so it would be viible day and night..

somehow i dont think this will happen, would be cool to see though.

Supposedly it will cost under 1 million . would be a great advertising gimick.. im suprised the golden casino doesnt already have one up.

thats sounds really cool

A geostationary orbit is about 22,000 miles above the equator not 12-31 miles above Texas.

I doubt it would even make it up to 12 miles but I would love to see them try.

He might wanna talk to JP first for some tips

e plans to build the balloon out of bamboo and synthetic paper
nd visible day and night" as it drifts in a low orbit about 20-50 kilometres (12-31 miles) above Texas for up to a month, before it disintegrates

nothing more then a fancy weather balloon

notabook · 01-09-2007, 11:59 PM

lmao... 1 million for a month. That's fiscally responsible all right.

Why would you want a banana floating over the top of Texas?

1 million isn't bad advertising cost to get an article in every major newspaper in the world if you succeed

Why wouldn't you want a giant banana floating over the top of texas

No reason really , if they even come close to succeeding its quite obvious its just a ploy to piss off the u.s./bush. Im no bush supporter but this does seem a bit silly , but hey i havent done anything to actively help , at least it brings some attention ( to what i dont know

) ..

rodney25 · 01-10-2007, 04:26 AM

That would be fascinating.

reynold · 01-10-2007, 08:06 PM

It would be something cool to watch.
