Dreamer Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Aqui está uma imagem desconcertante... Alguém imagina uma banana a "flutuar" na zona geoestacionária do planeta terra?... Pois... parece que isso passou pela cabeça de algumas pessoas, que se lançaram numa operação para o conseguir concretizar... Fica aqui um excerto do texto presente no site, mas aconselho uma visita mais promenorizada para se perceber melhor o projecto... GEOSTATIONARY BANANA OVER TEXAS Is an art intervention that involves placing a gigantic banana over the Texas sky. This object will float between the high atmosphere and Earth´s low orbit, being visible only from the state of Texas and its sorroundings. From the ground the banana will be clearly recognizable and visible day and night; it will stay up for approximately on month. Basically, the banana will be constructed like a blimp. Filled with helium, it will float between 30 and 50 km up in the sky. It will have a semi-rigid structure made of bamboo and a skin made with synthetic paper. Thanks to an extra load in gas and a valve system, it will keep its shape at all times. The final size of the piece will be 300 meters in length. The expected launching date is August 2008 from around Baja of Sonora, north-west of Mexico. The total costs for this project is roughly estimated at one million dollars. The project has passed preliminary developments and at the moment is in the final phase of its engeneering stage.
