MJ Live Forever - YAF submission

A constellation in space would be the perfect monument for him. It will consist of numerous inhabitable space station sized radio satellites, mimicking one of his famous dance moves. Each satellite will include large football sized video screens showing videos and images that can be viewed with a telescope. The monument will be associated and connected to today's popular social networks. Future space travel will allow the satellites to be used for museums to Michael. Orbiting the globe it will be a reminder to all nations of his legacy.

LtoR: Isaac Warshow, Marvin Weeks, JD Carling, Jeff Luddy, Amy Luddy, Beau Bock, Michael Jackson.

Thanks to the whole 4hr mini charette team.
