I'm not sure if this was posted before; if so, my apologies.

Seems a man called Arthur Blessitt carried a full-sized cross literally around the world, and now wants to send a smaller one into space. Why? Well, in his own words from the site:

"The cross will be over You personally! The Cross will be over every Nation on earth! Over Afghanistan! Saudi Arabia! Jerusalem! America! The cross in Space Satellite will be in a Polar orbit from pole to pole. As the earth turns it will pass over every inch of the earth like peeling an apple. The cross will circle the earth every one and a half hours. After launch we can tell you on our site when it will be over you and your nation. We have carried the cross in Every nation. Now we will, God willing have it flying above Every nation! We wave the cross in the face of Satan and proclaim that Jesus is Lord over All the Earth. All glory to God."

Oh boy...I can't wait.....

These guys have nothing better to do with their money? I should email them and ask them if they want to pay my financial aid debt.
 
The night sky is filled with stars, and a star is the symbol of Judaism so I can conclude that the Jews are right.

No, wait. The crescent moon is the symbol of Islam and I often see a crescent moon in the sky so the muslims must be right.

No, wait. There's a big W in the sky (Cassiopeia) so the Wiccans must be right. Or maybe Woden is the lord over the earth.

It's all so confusing.

The Southern Cross, or Crux Australis, has been there all the time. Tell the guy to keep his space-junk on Earth - there's enough up there in orbit as it is.
 
Nice to know this guy has the means to launch ANYTHING into space; besides, unless it's in a satellite, wouldn't it just burn up on re-entry?
 
I hope the satellite will be doing something else as well, mapping for example. otherwise what waste of resources/money can't he find anything better to waste money on than pointless symbolism.

Oh wait he's a fan boy pontless symbolism is all there is,

ETA, just read the celestis service page, It looks like it is a tiny part of the payload of a scheduled launch Phew. I suppose he has made a lot more out of the publicity than the USD 1300 cost,

Now, what's more important: mapping land and looking for possible weather troubles, or putting a representation of torturous death-turned religious symbol (representing one specific religion) in orbit around the world?

*Waves hand frantically :j1:
Oooh OOhh Ooohh Pick me Pick Me
 
YAY...

The Religious symbol thingy is um the right answer. 'cause that way we don't need to worry about weather and famines and stuff an that 'cause jeebus will be with us an all, and most of that stuff only happens to non-believers anyway or those that deserve it,

*smiling furiously sits down and experiences a minor godgasm

If it orbits the earth it is, by definition, a satellite. Any satellite will eventually burn up when it reenters due to atmospheric drag, if it's in a low earth orbit. If it's high enough though it could stay around for millenia or more because there's nothing to stop it from continuing to orbit.

I guess you can launch anything into space if you fork over the cash to a commercial launch company or to the russian space agency or something. This just seems to be an especially useless payload. Considering that one could equally easily launch something like a small research satellite or an imaging satellite or something, it seems pretty silly.

Anyways, is this really the first orbiting cross? A cross is pretty damn simple. I think anything with a lowercast letter t on it might quality, as long as it didn't have a little tail on the bottom.

Here's a geostationary mobile communications satellite. Looks like it may have beaten them:

And by cross he means penis.
 
Right. He's going to put one more piece of potentially dangerous space junk (to satellites and manned craft that is) for the sake of his supersticions.

People like him should be lobotomized, sterilized, heavily medicated, put in a straight jacket, and shoved in a rubber room to drool away the rest of their lives.

Or, launched into space along with their junk. I'm sure the Power of Christ will protect them...
