WAUKESHA, WIS.– Blizzard is proud to announce its latest endeavor, Project: Redstone, a daring mission to create the first ever light show in space, visible from all corners of the Earth. Named after the Redstone Rocket which powered NASA’s Mercury missions, the show features 3 new fixtures from Blizzard, Redstone™ 300 Profile, 440 Profile, and 240Z Wash. The project is the brainchild of Blizzard CEO and Chairman of the Bored, Will Komassa.
More details from Blizzard (www.blizzardpro.com):
“Since the Mercury 2 Mission was the first to carry a chimp into space, it only made sense for us to be the first to send a DJ into space. He will execute the light show and drop some sick beats. I guarantee it will be a show like the world has never seen. We’re still working out if we’ll be able to bring him back, but I am not really concerned about it either way.”
Blizzard’s crack legal team is quick to point out, due to truth in advertising laws, it’s physically impossible for light fixtures to be visible from space. It will be a show like the world has never seen because the world will not see it, at least not while it is in space. Project: Redstone and all Redstone fixtures will be visible at booth #1927 at LDI 2018.
