Why do Canadians want a Giant Banana over Texas?

The best part is that they are soliciting donations for it. Is there some kind of international space grafitti law or something? Can we declare war for this?

They must be having a boring winter.
It does actually bring up an interesting lapse in our laws. Right now there is nothing stopping a company from sending a giant advertisement into near orbit (unless there are marketing regulations broad enough to cover it). A banana is mildly amusing, but I would not be pleased with a giant bottle of booze or pack of cigarrettes hanging in the sky for a month at a time. I prefer looking at the sky without manmade adornment.

NOW I can safely say I've seen everything. :biglaugh:
In Germany there is a law (I believe) that states quite clearly all citizens are entitled to sunshine. I suppose we might need something similar if the canucks get their way.

As a Canadian I am a bit surprised about this. Granted we have our fair share of people who are bananas, in fact some are governing my country as I type. What puzzles me is why they wouldn't want such an awesome sight over say, Regina or Moose Jaw or Ottawa?
What bothers me about this is that they will likely get funding (at least partial) to pull off such a pointless thing. Clear proof that some people have way too much time on their hands... if it is legit, of course.

What source of power will it use to adjust and maintain orbit, and who will monitor and control it?
Sure you can place it in orbit and have it hang there for a while, but there are lots of forces that will perturb its orbit. Eventually it'll come down. I can see the headlines now: "Dallas deluged with ten tons of banana creme."
Who's going to pay for the cleanup?

It appears they are only halfway to raising enough funds to pull this off, but their list of people they need help from makes me question whether they can pull this off because it includes engineers specialized in bamboo structures and such. It's going to be kind of like a big near orbit blimp with enough gas to keep it up for a month... I sincerely hope they've figured out a way to bring it down gently.Seyorni said:
