Create A Star with a #Laugh, It May Just End Up in Space
The power of your voice can do amazing things. It can show your mood, personality, and opinion. Now, with just a laugh you can create space art. #Laugh is a new app where you create a star that might just be printed on a 3D printer aboard the International Space Station.
The idea and story behind #Laugh is an interesting one:
The project began in 2014, when Eyal Gever, the renowned digital artist took a phone call from Made in Space – the NASA contractor founded in 2010 with the goal of “enabling humanity’s future in space” – in which he was offered the opportunity to become the first artist to make art in space.

People from all around the world can record themselves laughing, visualize it via an #Laugh app and share it with their friends. The laughter with the most likes after one month will be sent to the International Space Station to be 3D-printed and then released into orbit.
