    Default The Humanity Star: Check This Out.........

    This is brilliant.

    This is something that each and every one of us can look at and connect. It's only going to last for 9 months or so and has only just been launched, so we don't have a lot of time.

    A STAR FOR HUMANITY

    Visible from earth with the naked eye, the Humanity Star is a highly reflective satellite that blinks brightly across the night sky to create a shared experience for everyone on the planet.

    Created by Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck, the Humanity Star is a geodesic sphere made from carbon fibre with 65 highly reflective panels. It spins rapidly, reflecting the sun’s rays back to Earth, creating a flashing light that can be seen against a backdrop of stars.

    Orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes and visible from anywhere on the globe, the Humanity Star is designed to be a bright symbol and reminder to all on Earth about our fragile place in the universe.

    Wait for when the Humanity Star is overhead and take your loved ones outside to look up and reflect. You may just feel a connection to the more than seven billion other people on this planet we share this ride with." Peter Beck

    It's a very nice idea. A lot of people can feel connected. It's a different kind of thinking, out of our 3D template.
