Geostationary Banana Over Texas

Thu Jan 11, 2007 1:50 am

I saw this on the news...did some research and it is infact not a hoax but a huge waste of money. This man is building the biggest airship in the shape of a banana and sending it over texas.

That's... Interesting. Haven't heard anything about it in the news, but it sounds cool. I hope I get to see it since it looks like it's passing over central Texas quite a few times.

Wouldn't be surprised if the FAA/military sent a fighter jet to pop it though. :\

I would seriously LOL if I saw that flying over my backyard. I live in the panhandle so we'd be the last ones to see it.

I can't see the movie, but I hope it passes over Houston. I'll definitely be out to look at it.

I doubt they would. From what I understand it will be filled with hydrogen. That thing would explode dangerously.
