Earth to space station: Howdy partner!

Robert Thirsk is the first Canadian astronaut on an extended space station mission. (Terri Trembath/CBC) Hundreds of students will point high-powered LED lights skyward from a small airstrip south of Calgary to send a secret message to the International Space Station that's orbiting Earth on Saturday night.

The students will have about six minutes to send their orchestrated message as the International Space Station darts across the night sky more than 300 kilometres above the Earth. That's how long it takes for the orbiting spacecraft to travel from horizon to horizon.

One of the astronauts on board is Canadian Robert Thirsk, who is working on the orbiting station for six months. The message will be sent from an acreage that belongs to Soren Christiansen, Thirsk's friend and former University of Calgary engineering classmate.

"It's very supporting for him to have a bunch of people doing something that recognizes him," Christiansen said.

The event is a collaboration between the University of Calgary, students and Discovery Channel, and will result in a video to be posted on YouTube next week. The LED light panels were built specifically for the event and donated by Osram Opto Semiconductors.

At 8.30 p.m. local time Saturday, an estimated 650 students armed with the special light panels are to send their choreographed message to the space station.

Calgary university student Liam Nelson is organizing the volunteers and said the display will take a lot of co-ordination to pull off.

"We have to do a couple of hours rehearsal ahead of time with all the students.

"And then we're going to give them some dinner, then after that we're going to get right on it."

Nelson said the message will be a combination of words, shapes, and Morse code.

If all goes well, Thirsk will try to call the ground crew to say message received. But it won't be until late November before he can thank everyone in person.

日本卡通 gunbuster  有過

女主角 把木星壓成黑洞炸彈 
炸死敵人後
從銀河中心花 1萬多年才回來 ,
回來時 大平洋打 "等著你回來 .."

1萬多年 怎麼還活著..?

因為 gunbuster 使用光速在飛
所以 依 相對論 

這片很誇張 宇宙怪獸可以到 上億隻 還可以躲在恆星內孵蛋
還有大到 1萬多 km大的 怪獸

還有 gunbuster 2

宇宙怪獸能夠進行超光速長距離航行。能夠在亞空間移動和作戰。
旗艦級宇宙怪獸長達一千公里。 宇宙中的宇宙怪獸據統計超過100億隻。單在第五集的太陽系絶對防衛線之戰中，已經有超過30億隻宇宙怪獸在冥王星至雷王星的位置。

在勇往直前2中，第五集出現的宇宙怪獸則全長一萬八千公里（在第六集中成長至二萬公里）。它們已經有能力控制重力波並可以反過來從黑洞中吸收能量。

宇宙戰艦Eltreum，是目前日本動畫史上是最巨型的戰艦，全長七十公里

大家科幻的題材看的蠻多的...;P
