The Geostationary Banana Over Texas project calls itself “an art intervention†and is scheduled for launch in August of 2008. The 300 meter banana will be constructed of bamboo and paper and filled with helium. It will float at 30 to 50 km above the state of Texas, which will put it on the line between Earth's atmosphere and space. From the ground, the banana will be visible and recognizable day and night all over Texas. Will this project ever get off the ground, or will there be slip-ups? Link

The whole banana thing is stupid, its some crack -headed artist who is trying to make a statement but he just ends up making all of us canadians look like retards. It will be even worse if it crashes because then we will look like incompetent retards.

So . . . am I completely off-base in thinking the whole thing might be a giant farce?
