(i've the IDEA and DESIRE but it's beyond my MEANS.
which we have taken.
So now as we are all growing out of ourteenage years through to the year 2000 A.D. and beyond, we should beable to hold our heads up high, high into the sky and waving proudabove us all, above every boundary were ever we might be, is hercolors, her flag,
the FLAG forEARTH.........................................................................andus all.
WHOLE EARTH FLAG & orSATELLITE !
THE PAINTED FORM.
THE MARRIAGE OF SPACE INTERESTS AND HUMANS PASSION FOR ART.
Simple,-
Get a MINIMUMof one personfrom each and all of the EARTHSINDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES,-
to enter ONE CONTEST,TOGETHER.
Am i so NIEVE to think that there could be just one personfrom each and every Country
on this small, but PRECIOUSPlanet,
WHO:-
would be above any INTERCOUNTRY, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, FEUDS, RACIAL , ECONOMICAL,-
RELIGIOUS incompatibilities,or any of the THOUSANDS of other reasons,
WHO:-
would enter together, into one GLOBALCONTEST.
WELL:-
I believeARTISTScould just be the -
UNIFYING - BRIDGING - NO BOUNDARIESHELD beings to make it possible.
Artists on the whole are CONCEPTUAL - BROAD MINDED - INTER RELATING -ADVENTUROUS -
DREAMERS and DAY DREAMERS who not only VISUALIZE the PAST - PRESENT -FUTURE !,
but most importantly the IMAGINARY, NON EXISTENT:-
NON EXISTING !

More than enough to pay for the hole event +
A)
If as I say , there is enough Capital - A RELATIVELY CHEEP SATELLITE could be put together, to house theWINNING DESIGN(TheACTUAL PAINTING, not a copy) and PLACEDinto ORBIT around the EARTH, CROSSING with MUTUALAGREEMENTas MANY COUNTRIES as POSSIBLE !
BETWEEN SCHOOLS, COLLAGES, UNIVERSITIES of the WORLD = MORE CROSS COUNTRYRELATIONSHIPS.
I Like the idea of a Radio Transmitter,sending a beat,aHUMAN HEARTBEAT, calm andconstant,
EVENIN DAYLIGHT WE WOULD KNOW THAT IT WAS PASSING OVERHEAD, REASSURING, REMINDING.
It is a warm night, andyou are sitting outside with your son / daughters on your knee,you lean over switch on your Radio and TUNE IN, tune into an EMPTYSTATION, and as you sit there pondering the night sky, a LOW FAINT BEATstarts to creep into the quiet, you look around searching,- then yousee it, low on the Horizon getting brighter - nearer - the beat louder- steadier, calming, you point up and your son / daughters see it,
and you say :-
" THAT IS OUR EARTHSFLAG - HER VERY OWN FLAG"
Like the WORLD OLYMPICS,
with the FLAG back on EARTH, what to dowith it ?
It has been the FIRST, it is verySPECIAL !
Maybe another tour, this time on EARTH
for
ALL to SEE
PAGETOP
A)For SPACE Missions .. B) forCHARITIES .. C) forthe ARTIST.. D) for HUMANS.. E)RESEARCH
Grown interest from all walks of Life, from all Countries.
MORE andNEWER TYPES / IDEAS formissions.
A WIDER FEELINGofPARTICIPATIONin theTECHNOLOGYetc.
BOTH for INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES and theEARTH as a PLANET. Greater interest and viewing =
MORE DONATIONS.
and there is the FELLOW COUNTRY PERSONS PROUDNESS,
andJOY of being the winning Countries Artistetc.
The BIGGEST PRIZE BEINGis thatARTISThas hadARTWORKSENTintoSPACEORBIT,
This i amSURE would bringHIGH ENTRANCEFIGURES,
VERY HIGH.
2) MORE MONEY for theENVIRONMENT = BETTER and HEALTHIER WORLD toLIVE on.
3) GREATER RELATIONS betweenCOUNTRIES withGREATER CO-OPERATION = HAPPIER PEOPLE !
4) If it happened and it worked,if there was enough response and it was possible to be a reoccurringevent
(Every 4 years, For a set number oftimes) WELL ! over this time there would be a CONTINUED BONDING, event after event = VERYBENEFICIAL TO HUMANKIND'S FUTURE and this PLANET.
5) It would SHOWto any PASSERS-BY or VISITORS, thatWE CAN PULL TOGETHER as a WHOLE PLANET, andSHOW it in RESPECT as a FLAG.
6) It would PROVE that WE could PULL TOGETHER forANY EVENT, there are ways if time allows.
7) A WORLDWITH A FUTURE = HUMANKIND WITH A FUTURE.
ThePAINTING / FLAGcouldCOMPRISEofOIL/ ACRYLICetc.,ONArt board or even HARDBOARD - I bet Hardboard has not been in Space yet ?, After 4Years in space how would it stand up ?
PLUStheSATELLITEit's self COULDCONTAIN A FEW ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERIMENTS.
IS LIKE A
WEB SITE
WITH NO
URL
OR
NAME
?
JUST IMAGINE
WHEN WE GO OUT INTO SPACE,
WHICH EVER NATION IT IS FLY'S IT'S OWNFLAG,
BUT IF WE EVER MEET SOME OTHER WORLDBEING,
OUR CREW WOULD SAY-
WE ARE HUMANS-WE COME FROM AND REPRESENTEARTH,
BUT THEY WOULD BE TAKING THE REST OF USFOR GRANTED,
BY ONLY SHOWING THEIR OWN COUNTRIESFLAG, NOT THE WHOLE EARTHS,
AND SAY THAT WE WERE GIVEN THAT BEINGSPLANETS FLAG ! AND IT/SHE/HE SAYS
WHAT DOES YOURS LOOK LIKE-
WE WOULD HAVE TO SAY-
WELL-ER-?-
WE DO NOT HAVE ONE !
THEY WOULD THINK WE WERE NOT PROUD OF ORDO NOT CARE FOR OUR PLANET,
OR WOULD THINK OF US AS PRIMITIVESUNABLE TO COMBINE-
AND MIGHT NOT MEET WITH US IN THE FIRSTPLACE !
MY WHOLE EARTH FLAG DESIGN IS READY ANDWAITING.
AT THE MOMENT AS FAR AS I KNOW ?
IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF IT'S KIND ON THEPLANET.
AND SO
UNTIL WE HAVE ANOFFICIAL DEMOCRATICALLY VOTED FLAG,
I WILL CONSIDER MINEAS THE EARTHS !
BY DEFAULT
