Geostationary Banana Over Texas
It’s Friday, why not have a little fun. I forget why I was thinking about this, maybe it’s because I was at KSC last month. So, in keeping with the space theme, here’s another internet space thing. The link at the bottom is to an article about that plan, er “plan”, to put a giant banana in the sky over Texas. It would have been so cool if this was ever real.
This gag is from the early days. I don’t remember exactly how early (the tab at the top suggests 2006, but I feel like it was earlier than that). Thankfully the Wayback machine has a copy. Enjoy!
