Enough Junk In Space Already

[Canary42]

I'll probably be accused of being unromantic, but this in my opinion is a silly idea.

Wedding plaques in space.

Who's gonna' see them up there anyway.

I suppose it's one of those things you give the couple who have everything.

[Baldric]

Bonkers!

What happens if the couple divorce?.....I was making a really intricate embroidered keepsake for my sister when she married....she left him before I finished it and her next husband's name didn't fit... :-(

Always someone with a new way to part some from their money, if it makes the buyers happy then so be it.

I do take your point about space junk though.

[sherrardk]

I doubt the plaques get sent anywhere - who's going to prove it?

[Buenchico]

I agree with you about the problems of space junk but those plaques are incredibly small. You could cut 468 of them from a single A4-sized sheet (and the metal used is probably very thin too), so they're not exactly massive lumps of titanium.

Size isn't everything, Buenchico.

[Tashi]

Douglas, you will have to trust me on this, size really does matter.

Last one from me tonight, man is finally back after being gone all day. Night all x

[douglas9401]

Well obviously, Tashi, how else would one achieve escape velocity.

[kvalidir]

*** wrong thread :(

[Tashi]

I hit escape velocity most days to be fair, happy bunny.

Specs of ex-satellite can punch holes in later satellites, or rockets. Plaque size isn't the issue. If wanting a space related memory then why not contribute to those projects trying to develop a way to clear space mess up ?

I can think of better things to spend my money on. Weddings are expensive enough.

[Hopkirk]

Can I just blast 'er indoors up instead?
