Space Art

[Wade]

I'm not sure what to make of this. I usually have no problem with quirky offbeat ideas... As long as I'm not paying for them... but despite the fact this is art and can get away with being superfluous this idea seems senseless and just another reason to launch more crap into space. Although it's miniscule compared to what various governments have done.


L.A. gallery iam8bit creates first-ever satellite art, launching into space Tuesday

"The whimsical work, created by iam8bit in Los Angeles, invites traveling aliens to stop and use the satellite as a charging station for their communicators, spaceships and other electronic devices." I sincerely hope the visitors have a sense of humor. I'd be worried about mankind's fate if they don't. To defuse a possible future crisis, NASA should be launching whoopee cushions and slinkies on a regular basis.

I think any aliens in the area would be better off with an orbiting 7-eleven.
