Geostationary Banana Over Texas

“We choose to put a giant bamboo and paper banana into geosynchronous orbit around the Earth. We choose to do this in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

“... and the temps at the edge of the troposphere will keep the banana from over-ripening and turning to goo.”

“BEDEMIR: And that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped.
ARTHUR: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedemir. Explain again how
sheeps' bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.”
