Watch: Teenager uses 11 Hyundai cars to send a message to her dad in space

The earth from outer space looks like a blob of green, blue and brown, and it must be nearly impossible for someone to see something specific on earth from there.

However, the gargantuan task of earth visibility from outer space has a personal, sensitive origin. Stephanie, a 13-year-old girl from Houston really misses her dad, who is in an international space station working for NASA, and Hyundai decided to help her by using 11 cars to carve out a message for him that would be visible all the way from outer space.

According to Hyundai’s website , a message was carved using 11 Hyundai cars in the middle of Delamar Dry Lake in the Nevada desert. It reads: Steph loves you! 

This marketing project is a part of an ongoing Hyundai campaign wherein they want to emotionally connect with their audience. According to Daily News New York , the message was recorded as the world’s largest tire track image,and won a Guiness world record. It is measured at 59,808,480.26 square feet.

“I think if we write a really big message, he can see it from space,” says Stephanie, in a video that captures the entire process.

“It has to be as big as the city I live in right now. That’s how big his picture can zoom in,” she says, adding, “He would totally be caught offguard if he saw the message. It might make him miss us even more, or miss Earth.”

Hyundai isn’t revealing too many details about Stephanie’s astronaut father, presumably because NASA doesn’t want to get involved in commercial promotions, reports The Verge _._

The video has now gone viral on Youtube with eight million views since it was published barely two weeks ago.
