Welcome to Earth

[Wilikon]

This must be the ugliest most short sighted unimaginative laziest designed flag for planet earth ever made... A circle of 7 ring noses... Why 7? 7 continents? Or is it 6 continents? Why is the center hollow? Hollow Earth Theory?

well maybe because they knew what my lucky number is   

Looks better than op's. But pluto shouldn't be there.
And a flag that gives information where we are can be a bad idea.

The flag represented what Earth and where it is. So, maybe if aliens are really exist, they will know where the location of Earth is from the flag.

Unless they can scan multiple billions of billions of star systems in full 3D (up, down etc) there will be very little chances they will know were we'll be located exactly just with this flag. Also keeping pluto on the flag as a planet is a good assurance to mess up with their google cosmo-map system, just in case...

And it will be harder if Earth doesn't have any flag right? I think the flag is not only tell something out in space where Earth is, but it will be the identity of our planet. I guess NASA will make the flag for other planets in our solar system.

Cute, if not ridiculous, it's just a publicity stunt to get funds.

what is that? Yeah we know that picture is flag of our planet, Earth. So, not only our country that had a flag, but also our planet. Are you waiting any visitors in your home now? From your family in Yupiter maybe? or from Andromeda galaxy? 

I am curious, if NASA have met aliens and invite them to dinner, and made the flag for earth so aliens won't get lost in their way to our planet 

What bullshit this is? The flag of earth, should be the image of earth =)

The flag of Earth already exists, see link above (or previous posts).

Don't propose to have a new idea that actually just overlaps an idea from someone else! The idea of 'we're all citizens of earth' is a great one. Presenting ideas as novel that have actually already been diseminated is not a great one. What work, in the spirit of "one world", has been done? Is it more than just branding and altruistic intent? I've only just seen the real Flag of Earth after googling it following reading your post. It would be great if more work was done to actually spread the idea. It seems like it might just be spread around the small group of people that created it...which makes it just a hobbyists idea.

Sorry for my cynicism but too often I see people claiming credit for some grand idea when 1) they're not the first people to come up with it, and 2) they do very little to actually spread the idea, which is what earns them the credibility of having created it.

That flag looks like a 8 year old made it. what a joke.

I have seen the old earth flags in google after Mr. Wilikon posted them. The most important point is, you wouldn't know about the earth flag if you didn't read this post right? There are many events was happened that maybe we haven't heard about that.  Anyway I agree with your words about the grand idea.

It sounds you can make a better one

What exactly is the point of having a flag for a planet? Are there any other planets in the solar system that has a flag? If other intelligent life-forms found our planet, they wouldn't care for the flag. Obviously, they will care for the resources they can gather in our planet. Sure we have a flag, and that flag represents us being the citizens of Earth, but do you think aliens would care about that? No.

P.S., the flag isn't that nice. I prefer James W. Cadle's flag.

EDIT: corrected a single word.

[ThEmporium]

The "aliens" are created by NASA in underground laboratories, the extraterrestrials hail from planets beyond Antarctica and the space is in your head. 

Unlike many other extraterrestrial races in science fiction, the Aliens do not have a technological civilization and are predatory creatures with no higher goals than the propagation of their species and the destruction of lifeforms that could pose a threat. This creature has no specific name, and has been referred to most often onscreen, and in the credits of each film, simply as the Alien.

You can read the reply before, I said maybe NASA will make the flag for other planets in our solar system. It means the other planets haven't had it yet. 

Obviously, they will care for the resources they can gather in our planet. Sure we have a flag, and that flag represents us being the citizens of Earth, but do you think aliens would care about that? No.

So how do you know aliens don't care about that? Have you met them? The flag is identity of Earth, and I don't see something wrong about that. But if you don't like the design, you can complain to NASA or the other authorities.

To be honest, this flag seems better. I like the design and it represents shape of the earth.

It's kind of scary come to think of it. I mean, it's like those futuristic movies that depict the future with space ships and flying cars... Maybe we need this flag when we destroy our home (EARTH) and go on in search of other planets to inhabit, you now, like conquistadors did, or American astronauts, it kind of creeps me out

[Pro_Crypto_Marty]

I'm not in love with the design, but it's alright.

As for the other ones, I don't see why the flag needs to have anything like a map of the earth or of the solar system. It's a flag. Most flags just use symbolism that represents the history of the country, its values, the people that live there, a stylized representation of some aspect of the countries geography, etc.

Unless we're really afraid that the aliens won't find us.

It's the 'Flower of Life', the basis of Metatron's cube.

The NASA nazis are waving this flag because ? .. (Seeing that sent a chill up my spine.)

In the twenty first century, flags are obsolete. Any alien species with the FTL travel capability necessary to reach Earth would view flags as barbaric territorial symbols, the sure sign of an infant species dangerous to themselves and others.

"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."
-Albert Einstein

Flags, eternally the heralds of war.





Planetism is nothing more than nationalism hubristically projected into the future. Life is unfathomably scarce and therefore infinitely precious out there in the endless dark, this is a self-evident universal truth. Consider for a moment, that most of the mass of our planet consists of core and mantle, where no life exists. Only a thin layer of crust and a narrow slice of atmosphere - only that little bubble supports life. It is this tiny slice that Homo Sapiens, the singular gods of Earth are destroying and poisoning. At least 10¹⁴ miles (~20 lightyears) of space in every direction is the cold void, darkness, death.

If we continue on our current path, we turn Earth into Venus, in doing so we burn the only known harbor of life within 10¹⁴ miles, and probably farther.

I think we are not afraid, but we just prepare.

I'm not sure about your opinion. Why you need a flag when you destroy something. I mean, world countries made the flag to became their identity. So imo the flag is identity now for our planet, Earth.

[limaphii]

I wonder when will we have a Solar System Flag or Milky Way Flag.. LoL!

Why do I suddenly feel like if I'am on Men In Black
anyway , I don't believe in Aliens because there is no proof for their existance .

The universe is so big that humans lifetime wont be able explode the whole universe. I believe there is other living creatures in other part of the universe. Just that it is hard for humans and them to meet.

Actually, I've read somewhere it's actually the opposite. some space scientists actually half expected that we would have found more than just one planet with living creatures by now.

I forgot where I read this. I would be grateful if someone could give me a link.

Oh, and I have a feeling we will end up claiming a part of the universe as ours. Solar systems will just be like districts once that happens

You have read scientists statistics, we have something in the region of ''75 thousand million million'' stars/suns in our universe and they reside in around 400 billion galaxies the number of planets is uncountable, We are one planet with life and how many more are there?  We are not alone that is a statistical impossibility, but... How vast is the universe we will never even get out of our one galaxy in our life time until new tech is created but we could have destroyed ourselves by then. Nasa has a world flag because they know something we don't know  The guy was right above the ''flower of life''

We are 10000000000% not alone. But to travel to the next potential like us planet is so beyond possibility of traveling to and observing, cattle mutilations, impregnating women and don't forget my favorite, anal probing that I doubt we was visited. Its a crap shoot. Were so insignificant compared to whats out there its like almost impossible.  Unless it is possible to create some sort of worm hole that can bend space and time that you can travel through without tearing your body up into pieces

The science of probability/statistics is the world's biggest lie ever The concept behind the theory can be disproved by even the simplest of minds. There is no need to study mathematics for 10 years to see the cracks in the reasoning.
The simple fact is that it is impossible to determine whether aliens exist or not without encountering one.

[TinEye]

i like the idea, if we ever end colonizing another planet, a flag would be important for other human to attribute something to the place they live, it will not be a matter of nations anymore but of planets, but that first flag isn't that good, i think it's better if you just draw the earth in it or any other planet, it will depicts well the flag and the meaning of it, without this it is just a bit confusing and random
