Would you like to see an Artificial Meteor Shower?

Have your wedding outdoors at night. Wait until the preacher pronounces you man and wife (or whatever, these days). Then, right on schedule, dazzle you new wife (or whatever) with a meteor shower - at a mere $8,100 per meteor.

This Japanese startup wants to make artificial meteors (Wired UK)

As long as there was no negative impact on the environment, that would be frigging awesome. Although, $8,000 per meteor? Yikes.

Yeah... I'd rather not >.<

For 8000$ I could just buy my theoretical wife fifty kittens.

Waste of money. Money should be saved for something more efficient I believe. Not to merely feed entertainment at such a cost..

Anyone else feel humanity is doomed when they read stories like this?

Meteor showers are cool but not $8000 a meteor cool, I'll pass. Plus its still not the real thing which would likely be easier to go out and see depending on your location.

I thought humanity was doomed before ever reading stories like this.
