Petition drive to send Hatsune Miku (the spokescharacter for the Vocaloid2 singing-voice-synthysis program from Yamaha and CryptonFutureMedia) to Venus aboard the Japanese planetary probe Akatsuki.

See the petition (and sign it if you wish) here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dEhaZ1JMUXI3MEl4Qk14VXBCZXVHdlE6MA

Hmmm.... cool! I signed just now. I think they're gonna slap a whole bunch of graphics on the spacecraft. Itasha in space?

[FallinG_StaR]

Why?!

Is she an alien from Venus?

"JAXA would like to enhance people's interest in space and the Earth by holding a "message campaign" in which we invite people to send us messages that will be printed in fine letters on an aluminium plate and placed aboard the Venus Climate Orbiter "AKATSUKI"

You people... they give you a small aluminium plate... and you want the hole thing... XD

If you want your name on that satellite... just go here:

My name is already there... as well as "I love hentai" XD so that Venus girls know I'm here... but then they could just ignore it so I left another message... and I got a certificate... XD

I'm going to Venus... XD

Well, if that's how you feel about it, Falling. I guess Miku's alright with it, too:

I don't know why but... that image... Miku looks scary... and that's why I signed the thing... XD

Still... I just want to know... Why?

[veehive]

Why? ???

Hmmmm ... maybe to self-promote this Artform (yes, "Art" with an upper-case "A") which gives us such pleasure and escape.

Ultimately, FallinG_StaR, my reply to your query is, "why not?" :*)

My apologies for the double-post, but it's been awhile (so apologies for thread necromancy, too?).

News of the launch of Akatsuki: scheduled for today, but was cancelled due to poor weather. There is a link to a live webcast of the launch, which I will post when I get word of the new launch date&time.

Cheers!
