Hyundai Sends Message To Astronaut In Space Using 11 Cars

Sending a message to an astronaut in space seems like a pretty straightforward thing, but in what seems like a marketing stunt, Hyundai actually wrote out the message back on Earth but made it big enough where it could be seen all the way in space. As it stands there are only a few things visible from space (from a certain distance) so obviously they had to make it big.

How did they do that? The car manufacturer took 11 of its Hyundai Genesis sedans and drove it across Nevada’s Delamar Dry Lake. The message was from a 13-year old girl from Houston who wanted to tell her astronaut father in the International Space Station that she loved him, and boy did Hyundai manage to accomplish just that!

Not only was this image huge enough where it could be viewed from the International Space Station, but it was huge enough to get the attention from the Guinness World Records who proclaimed and certified it as being the largest tire track image that has been created to date. It’s a pretty cool stunt even though we know it was done for marketing purposes, however if you have a few minutes to spare then you’ll want to check how Hyundai did it in the video above.
