http://www.geostationarybananaovertexas.com/en.html "(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 surroundings. From the ground the banana will be clearly recognizable and visible day and night; it will stay up for approximately one month."

why do they want to do this?sure, it's a banana, over texas, the state in which bush was born, so it's an anti-bush thing, but it sounds like a waste of money to me.

it's not an anti-bush statement. it's meant to be art.

Its a plane, it's a bird, no it's an art of mental breakdown probably. 'Geostationary French Fries Over North Pole'.

This reminds me of the art of Thomas Baumgärtel, a German artist who has sprayed a banana on about 4,000 museums and other places of art worldwide and who uses bananas as his only motif for his pictures and portraits. I never really understood the sense of it and I never really cared, but blowing out 1 million dollars for a giant banana like those guys do is pretty ridiculous. But I guess doing something ridiculous and Dada is what they were aiming for anyway.

This sounds like a pretty stupid idea...have to be rather big banana if it's to be placed in geostationary orbit...that's 36000 km out in space!!

Sounds like the ramblings of a crazy cult to me.

Well...this actually would be funny if the project goes through. i dont really see the grotesque or the beauty in it other than just absurdity....but still. i mean, just imagine waking up to a big fucking giant banana in the sky rather than sun. 'oh my god! its judgment day! god forgot his banana here and will be back to claim it...along with our lives! run from the big giant banana!'
