More than words – The Voice of There

Deep Space 999,999

It seems that there are always Thereians who are attempting to push the envelope of what can be done in this little metaverse of ours. Mr_Rush is one of those dedicated people and has applied that dedication to establishing a paz at just slightly below one million meters above the islands. That’s 1000 kilometers or over 621 miles high. To give you an idea of this accomplishment, the International Space Station is a mere 152,000 meters high, Deep Space is six and a half times higher.

For three weeks he used a relatively new stacking method to build from the planet surface to that dizzying height and finally achieved its present altitude on Sunday.

Technical limitations make it unlikely it will go any higher. At any altitude higher than one million meters both teleportation and summoning don’t work.

Mr_Rush credits Gaultier, Mrs_Rush, Mattt, Jerryo, Pontroe and Betram for help in getting the paz in place. If you want to go, here is the teleport link: http://webapps.prod.there.com/goto/goto?obj
