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!

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...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".

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.










skylee -

They probably didn't plan for the sayings to be seen from space.

The character 毛 as in Chairman Mao can also mean hair. Hence the confusion.










skylee -

Oh yes you are right. It is a surname and I didn't realise it.

Those photos are just like X-ray photos.Very Dakula.










Quest -

They look like characters overlayed on satellite images? The proportions and aspect angles are all
very unconvincing...

Those characters would have to be extremely large unless a very good global surveillance satellite
was used.
