The Earth Now Has A Flag For When We Reach Mars
THE EARTH NOW HAS A FLAG FOR WHEN WE REACH MARS
Does Earth need a flag? Perhaps not, at least not until we have another planet on which to plant it (or another civilisation with which to exchange diplomatic stationary). But that doesn’t mean actually designing one is a pointless process — as proven by the results of a new project to do exactly that.
Oskar Pernefeldt of the Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden, designed a new flag for the world as part of his graduation project and it’s already causing a stir online.
The flag is a combination of seven interlocking rings on an ocean blue background, is stately but modern, and is illustrated with a stunning selection of images depicting humanity planting the flag on Mars and waving it at the World Cup.
Pernefeldt describes is as follows: “Centred in the flag, seven rings form a flower — a symbol of the life on Earth. The rings are linked to each other, which represents how everything on our planet, directly or indirectly, are linked.”

“The blue field represents water which is essential for life — also as the oceans cover most of our planet’s surface. The flower’s outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet and the blue surface could represent the Universe.”
The flag is designed with space travel in mind, pointing out that astronauts are “more than just representatives of their own countries”. The flag is therefore designed to “remind the people of Earth that we share this planet, no matter of national boundaries. That we should take care of each other and the planet we live on”.
The flag was designed with the help of companies including LG and BSmart, and Nasa appears to have been involved to some extent too according to the project’s website — though exactly what they provided for the design isn’t clear.

Citius, Altius, Fortius.
Add two rings and a think tank of elite.
Humans have no place in space, we are destroyers of worlds or at least our masters are.
I think it sucks. How’s that for a ‘stir’?
Bang on
HILARIOUS! This article writer can’t even count the rings!
There are 8 white rings, on a field of blue.
The interlocking rings form the Jewish ‘Star of Remphan’ in the middle, while the blue-and-white are not only the colors of the U.N., but also of the Israeli tribe of Levi (the law givers, or judges).
Seems we are taking our Illuminati beliefs to the stars (and other planets).
All hail and praise the Illuminati. Seems god wishes them power and wealth, who am I to argue?
You do know that the correct spelling of Civilisation is Civilization don’t you? It’s pretty hard to take someone even a little seriously when they can’t spell.
Looks like a crop circle depiction.
It should be simple. A star of david with a big red X over it.
