In 2012, Kildall and Stern again partnered on a project called Tweets In Space, inviting participants to submit tweets to be transmitted to the planet GJ 667Cc, whose conditions scientists believe may be capable of supporting life. Tweets In Space will take place in September 2012 at the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project aims to activate "a potent conversation about communication and life that traverses beyond our borders or understanding." Kildall and Stern used RocketHub to fundraise the money needed to access a transmitter capable of reaching the planet. In addition, code developed is planned for release to open source. According to Killdall and Stern, the goal of "Tweets In Space" is to activate "a potent conversation about communication and life that traverses beyond our borders or understanding."

Famous quotes containing the word space:
“Mere human beings cant afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (18911986)
