Since his early days at NASA, Mark Rober has been blasting stuff into space, and now he wants to do it with one of your photos! So, he got a satellite called SAT GUS* and it’s being launched into orbit to take the most epic selfies in the universe. To prove to you that we didn’t fake the landing of your Space Selfie, we’ll take a picture of the phone displaying your image with Earth in the background. Boom - you get a selfie with the Earth. A Space Selfie!

Shout-out to Tyvak for building the bus, Redwire for the camera, and Muon for TVAC testing.
An advertisement satellite feels a bit dystopian. I’m sure many more will follow.
The Mormons have satellites now?
