BloginSpace.com Messages Follow Atlas V Launch Into Deep Space

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla NASA's Atlas V exploration of the martian atmosphere carried MindComet's BloginSpace.com in its coattails as they rocketed out of the Earth's atmosphere. Unlike Atlas V headed to Mars, bloggers from over 73 countries are attempting to communicate with alien life via messages broadcasting into deep space destination unknown.

BloginSpace.com has been compiling blogs and posts since its inception on July 19, 2005, collecting over 2,700 for transmission by Deep Space Communications Network. Concerns were raised as to proper extraterrestrial communication protocol and possibilities of instigating intergalactic war, as the blogs were sent uncensored.

"We are aware of extraterrestrial communication protocols and because of this encouraged bloggers to not use offensive language," commented Ted Murphy, President and CEO of MindComet. "We don't anticipate the blogs to create intergalactic warfare, and we were excited to be able to launch today in coordination with Atlas V." Murphy says MindComet continues to support intergalactic free speech, as they have since the launch of BloginSpace.com and Space Post messaging.

Bloggers who submitted a URL for transmission into space received an email confirmation stating the exact latitude and longitude the satellite was pointed when the broadcast occurred. BloginSpace.com is still open for transmission as Friday's launch marks the first of many transmissions planned over the coming months.

This is MindComet's second blog-centric service, following the launch of the BlogStar Network in mid-June. The next launch date is tentatively scheduled for the week of September 12th. BloginSpace.com continues to generate over 40,000 unique sessions daily and attracting attention from media across the globe.
