Since his early days at NASA, Mark Rober has been blasting stuff into space, and now he wants to do it with one of your photos! So, he got a satellite called SAT GUS* and itโ€™s being launched into orbit to take the most epic selfies in the universe. To prove to you that we didnโ€™t fake the landing of your Space Selfie, we'll take a picture of the phone displaying your image with Earth in the background. Boom - you get a selfie with the Earth. A Space Selfie!

Shout-out to Tyvak for building the bus, Redwire for the camera, and Muon for TVAC testing.

An advertisement satellite feels a bit dystopian. I'm sure many more will follow.
