jun yong Posted August 21, 2007 at 06:27 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 at 06:27 PM I made a compilation of chinese characters that can be seen from space, these were taken by satellite imagery, I was hoping someone could figure out what they say! The last person I asked could figure out a few characters "hair" and "people". Any help would be appreciated! If you need it in PDF or any other format, let me know!

skylee Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:11 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:11 PM From top right clockwise (the characters in the photos are simplified ones but I write in traditional characters so they might appear a bit different ) - 只爭朝夕 -> http://www.baidu.com/baidu?ie=gb2312&ct=1048576&cl=3&word=%D6%BB%A0%8E%B3%AF%CF%A6 苦練精兵 -> train an elite army 衛國戎邊 -> protect the country and guard the border 爲人民服務 -> serve the people 排除萬難去爭取勝利 -> get rid of all obstacles to strive for victory 毛主席萬萬嵗 -> long live Chairman Mao There is not a character meaning "hair".

jun yong Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:24 PM Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:24 PM Thanks! I didnt think there was a "hair" in there! LoL! I wonder why they wanted the sayings to be seen from space? I'm sure there are alot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:38 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:38 PM They probably didn't plan for the sayings to be seen from space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted August 22, 2007 at 05:46 AM Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 at 05:46 AM There is not a character meaning "hair". The character 毛 as in Chairman Mao can also mean hair. Hence the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quest Posted August 26, 2007 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 at 12:57 AM They look like characters overlayed on satellite images? The proportions and aspect angles are all very unconvincing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheukMo Posted August 26, 2007 at 01:31 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 at 01:31 AM Those characters would have to be extremely large unless a very good global surveillance satellite was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
