Spaced Out, Volume 1: Outer Space Jam

Been sitting on this post for awhile; FINALLY realized, DUH, I can't make one post about ALL SPACE FLAGS EVER. It's gotta be a feature. Only solution. So welcome to Installment 1 of Spaced Out, or Let's Go Down the Google Image Results for "Space Flag".

THE IMPETUS:

Connor M asked me about Space Flags. I'm not sure why. I was (gleefully) able to point him in the direction of my own Space Flag, which of course you will remember from the early days of Flaghagz: A Premier Flag Blog. But beyond that, I figured there must be Space Flags, so I google imaged it. As with most Google Image searches, you get a strange array of results. I thought I'd post here the ones that looked the most like actual flags on the first few pages of results.

The first result was this gem from The Space Review.

Michael Huang claims,

Humans versus robots is really a disguised form of “Should human spaceflight continue?”

That seems like kind of a leap (for mankind) with some flimsy arguments about space colonization to back it up, but whatever. It led to this flag, and so many gems in the lead-up.

Colonization needs publicity. One of the great challenges for space enthusiasts in these times is to bring colonization into the public conversation. Unfortunately, the most effective ways of reaching a mass audience, e.g. television, are priced for big marketing campaigns, not space enthusiasts or non-profit organizations. However, there is an opportunity in one of the oldest forms of communication.

Flags have been used throughout human history, usually to represent peoples and nations, but also to represent ideas and movements. The Space Flag represents life and humans living on Earth, and growing towards living beyond Earth. Its main symbol, made up of seven overlapping circles, is the aptly named “Seed of Life”. The Seed of Life resembles a flower, a symbol of life and growth. The central blue circle represents the Earth, and the other six circles represent colonies. The stars—ad astra—represent the ultimate destination for life.

The Space Flag has a web site with more detailed information. Computer files of the flag are free to download. However, a real cloth flag will require a custom flag maker. Flag manufacturers can be found in the Yellow Pages or on the Internet.

Well, now we know where to find a flag manufacturer! Thank god. Also space enthusiasts' budgets are not big. Now we know that too. (Unfortunately, spaceflag.com is no longer a registered domain.) Also we know Michael H's position on the afterlife! Very cool. I only wish he'd explained to us plebes what 6 colonies he was referring to SO WE COULD ALL PREPARE.

And what is it with sci fi people and flowers! Is that a thing or did I just make that up?

I'm not certain, but I do believe Michael H's "Seed of Life" isn't that far off from Taiwan's proposed "Hearts On Fire In Harmony" flag.

But, hey. Thumbs up for Venn Diagrams. A space flag without math is a sad space flag indeed.

Can we just all agree though that Michael H is spot on that the space flag should have USA colors? IT'S THE ONLY WAY. (do not try to tell me he was thinking Russia when he made that flag. It's just not.)
