Wow, that's pretty awesome! I'll have to look that up when I get home. (the memorial is awesome: not the plane crash)

That's amazing. I didn't get what is the purpose of the mirrors?

Very cool, also somewhat worrying.

Kinda puts into perspective, even now, how screwed we would be if we were to end up crash landing in a desert.

What I meant was - do they serve a purpose in the design of the monument. Do the mirrors make the whole monument shine in the moonlight ?

When you look on google maps and just keep zooming out and zooming out and theres still nothing nothing nothing until you can see half of Africa!

Scary.

Thats really cool, had to share it on FB

Only thing is, how quick will that get buried in the sand? Considering most of it is quite flat

Wondered about the same thing. Is the desert stony rather than sandy - would be my chief concern during construction.
