Ohio State University Launched a Satellite

[Toroid]

The Ohio State University has launched a satellite the size of a shoebox. It's called CubeRRT and was named after the video game Q-Bert. It's designed to read the natural radiation of the Earth and was programmed to cancel-out frequencies emitted by technologies.

I didn't know universities could sent up satellites...

What's the alien emoji signify?...

I imagine as the cost of putting objects in space becomes cheaper they'll have to come up with new regulations. A few years from now we could be reading stories like "My neighbor just launched a 20 ton payload into space for 50 bucks."

I suspect Google/YouTube wrote a program that inserts emojis into their links. When it first started it was mostly the zombie ones and now it's more varied. I couldn't find that particular emoji on the site list which is a first.
