As if we need more trash floating around our planet...maybe it's our way of building some kind of shield?

 

Aliens must think we're the dirtiest race..

Rocket launches are incredibly difficult, expensive and pollutive. So we fling fast food into space....

In before some satellite gets knocked out of orbit by a burger.

This is not a rocket launch.

It is a balloon.

That doesn't even go into space.

 

... Unless I'm missing something, of course.

So ... isn’t that technically not space?

Technically. But we’re launching a chicken sandwich 19 miles into the air in a robotic bucket satellite. What more do you want from us?

 

Most is detailed in their FAQ.

SPAAAAAAACCCCEEEEEE!

Can't decide if I think this is as offensive as those 'send whatever undeserving politician I dislike to space' posts or just... well... fairly, depressingly, typical for the 21st century.

[PlayStation 2]

I can't understand KFC anymore.

[Beskamir]

I see we're really taking the "lets scare aliens away" a bit too seriously. They'll see this and think "what kind of lunatics launch food into space? We should probably avoid them like the plague"

Inb4 first contact was at a KFC, and the aliens just made a 'to go' order, because they liked it so much.

What a time to be alive...

[Jito463]

Oh, KFC.....
