Subject: [vsnet-chat 1366] Help us to stop the Znamya mission


Dear friends,

Do you know the Znamya project?  If no, read the following pages:

        http://www.energialtd.com/home.shtml
        http://www.energialtd.com/znamya.htm
        http://www.mygale.org/02/quiz/Znamya.htm

Some italian amateur astronomers have thought to protest against the
society Energia Ltd. in order to prevent the launch. If you want to
help us, send a copy of the following message to the address:
        energia@energialtd.com
and tell to your friends to do the same thing. Thanks to everybody!

Stop Znamya Mission !

Night is a right of everybody and dark and starry Sky is a cultural
gift of all the people. If you light the Sky at night you will
irreparably damage astronomic research, harm all animals and plants,
deprive human beings of the contemplation of the Universe and of
darkness to sleep.

Moreover, if you want to powerfully light a precise location on
Earth for a very long time, you should use a huge number of low
rounding satellites; so this is why we believe that in the next
future Znamya will just be for commercial purposes: but the Sky
should not be used for trade.

This in why Znamya should never fly!
