It's like Jehova's Witnesses walking past your house holding their leaflets up so as you can read them with binoculars or something.

I don't know. I just get angry when religious people get all zealous at me, and this seems like a subliminal method of doing so. Of course, even if it happens, I'll forget about it.

Plus, I think space should be non-denominational anyway.

I dunno, sort of seems like nothing new to me, since everyone in Montreal is already under the baleful gaze of the gigantic cross atop Mont-Royal.  It lights up every night.  One of my friends somehow came to believe that it is going to change colour or go out or something when the Pope dies, so we've been keeping an eye on it.

Wow. They can do that?
I guess it makes some sort of sense.

are people really going to shoot a gigantor cross into space and attempt to put it in orbit around the planet they live on?

can someone help me start a website to start a pool to guess the date it plummets to the earth as a flaming cross and causes irrevocable environmental damage thus ushering on the Apocalypse?

cuz, i only want a 4.5% cut.

also, i choose Oct 31st 2009.

I did some poking around on the site, and the cross being launched is 2 inches by 1 inch.  It's being launched by some company called Space Services, Inc. which seems to be set up mainly to launch cremains into space.  

I have to admit that I was kind of into the idea of a big ol' 15' tall cross flying around the earth.  Unfortunately, it's a whole lot less interesting than that.

Is this for aliens? Stickers?
Turn on to Jesus? I think I need to make a T Shirt with the design but saying Turn on Jesus.

I would have been more amused if it were indeed a 15 foot cross. But I guess NASA and so forth might dislike that. Although a 2 inch cross hitting your windshield at whatever speeds would be fairly scary!

I've been touched by Jesus, in all the wrong places.
Sorry Jesus...you still my boo.

But anyway...I guess if I'm not going to be hit by a flaming cross I'd be okay with it. Maybe it'll land on some bizarre, alien planet and the inhabitants will start worshipping it, a la "Gods Must Be Crazy," but with no knowledge of context.

a two inch cross?

a fifteen foot cross?

ok, physics majors, what size cross would have to be launched to be seen from non-geosynchronous orbit?

also, other majors, or colonels, what size cross would not completely burn up from reentry prior to landing?

The cross will be over You personally! The Cross will be over every Nation on earth! Over Afghanistan! Saudi Arabia! Jerusalem! America!


All the exclaimation points remind me of both yelling and bad Engrish web-text.

Hate to be nitpicky, well, no I don't, but Jehovah's Witnesses don't even use the cross in worship.  In fact, in their publications, at least recently, they depict Jesus on a big stick, not a cross, with his hands nailed above his head.  Also, they don't hold Jesus in the same light as mainstream Christians, I think.  It's just that I had a JW roomate for a semester, and he was always telling me about stuff.

Yeah, part of me hopes and knows it's just a joke, and part of me hopes it's not.  Also, I'll be severely disappointed if it's just in some kind of vessel.  That would be lame.

I didn't say they did.  I was just saying that this, to me, seems like if JW's were to walk past your window every few days holding leaflets up.
