But after a week or so it’ll turn black and attract gnats. Giant gnats.

I’m one of those Texans who is NOT thrilled at having my beautiful blue sky marred by an obnoxious oversized fruit. Yeah, it might be funny for a DAY. But after a few weeks I’m gonna be sick of the thing.

How bout I just kick them in the nuts, and they give me the million. Seems much more productive (and a lot less reproductive, thank gawd).

Huge waste of money - I’m sure history will sniff once and then promptly ignore them.

Art is a lovely thing. The concept is neat. But at a price of a million dollars, it’s a shame. They could spend that same million dollars on helping people that really need it and that would be a lot nicer than a fake banana in the sky.

Sounds to me like it’s just going to be be a fancy balloon.
Actually a geostationary orbit is a geosynchronous orbit directly above the equator at a altitude of 36,000 km.
Neither of which this project will be able to do.
I’m calling BS on the whole project. It’ll never do what they say.

From the website, in the team presentation section : “Various individuals that preferred to remain anonymous”
Yeah, you understand why: a lot of them forgot their foil hat.
Anyway, looks like a fun hoax to me.

there’s definitely something wrong with that photo, its not right at all.
and the whole thing sounds like a waste of time, although relatively spectacular with they actually do it

Well, I like the idea of messing with Texas. How do
you like that big banana in your sky, Tex?I’m concerned, however, that when the banana falls it
may hurt someone. -

Fake photos are easier and cheaper than spacecraft, and of equal value when the point is performance art.
This has been around for nearly 2 years but boingboing can make anything “new” again.

It’s concept art, not a photo. Sheesh.
Not only that, but Neatorama reported this last December.
