who will save the night sky is an interactive performance that reminds us of the importance of our relationship to the stars and sky world.
Did YOU know there are nearly 4000 satellites already in the sky, with hopes of 42,000 in the near future? DID you know in 1958 we nearly nuked the moon? Did you KNOW that when satellites stop working, they are left to float in the outer atmosphere of earth…alone…hapless, hopeless, helpless :(
ENOUGH FACTS!
allow me to take you on a celestial journey, snacks provided, to a big board room in the sky. plleeeaaassee, allow me to whisk my tail and weave you a tale and tattle tale on the tell tale signs of a GOOD STORY! a long time ago, in the future an important group of star beings got together to discuss the fate of earth and the two leggeds…and the party begins. ;)
