Have Your Voice in Space
Your Voice In Space is a new campaign, looking to raise awareness of cultural and global identity within the 14–24 year old age bracket, through the launch of a space probe.
The Defero probe is unique in that it houses a two-way transmitter that allows several media forms to be relayed to and from the probe. We encourage our users to answer weekly questions through the use of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as YouTube and this website. These answers are then 'posted' into space through the probe.
This initiative is also unique in that it is completely free. Many similar projects have gone before the Your Voice In Space campaign, but none have been this accessible to so many people worldwide.
So speak up, and get Your Voice in Space!
