More bender nonsense...
The rainbow flag that symbolises gay pride has been sent into space for the first time via a high-altitude balloon.
Planting Peace, a US-based non-profit group that seeks to "spread peace in a hurting world", launched the flag near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 17 August.
The balloon captured video with a GoPro camera as it floated 21.1 miles (34.1km) above earth for three hours.
Organisers said they wanted to declare space gay friendly, "in a peaceful, beautiful way".
My concerns about this are that AIDS molecules may be attached to the flag and contaminate space.
Secondly if found by aliens they may opine that everyone on Earth takes it up the arse....
