An artist from Montreal, Canada, plans to build and launch a giant 300metre long Banana into space, the project that is called the Geostationary Banana over Texas, and the goal is to float the Helium filled Banana over Texas for just one month. So why would anyone want to float a giant banana in space? The 'goal' of the project is to promote contemporary art, but wouldn't the money be better spent on helping the homeless or building something that would last a bit longer?
