Disney and Pixar has launched Elio’s Intergalactic Message Pod’ in London today, with members of the public invited to send their messages to the galaxy.
The cosmic-inspired Message Pod is located at Observation Point on London’s Southbank to celebrate the release of Disney & Pixar’s Elio, exclusively in cinemas from Friday 20th June.
The Elio Message Pod invites members of the public to record their very own message and send it to space, reaching for the stars with their boldest questions, or to simply share a bit about themselves. Whilst we couldn’t promise a reply from the stars, all visitors are invited to come down and join the adventure — and maybe even enjoy a little self-discovery along the way.
All messages are being collated and will be broadcast through Earth’s atmosphere, beyond the 62 mile-high Kármán line, and into outer space using very high frequency (VHF) radio waves in the 40-50MHz range, meaning participants will become part of astronomical history as their messages travel through space and time. The messages will be sent to space on Friday 20th June – the same date that Elio releases in cinemas.
The cosmic booth will be displayed to the public in Leicester Square on Sunday 15th June at the below times:
Open to the public: 11am – 12.45pm and 2.15pm – 3pm
