It has been 5 years since the first COVID lockdown and we have lost many close ones along the way. In collaboration with a charity, we decided to do a passion project to allow users send messages to space to share their thoughts, wishes and prayers and find solace in the night sky.
Your messages get encrypted one-way on your device and posted to a distributed message queue, then a laser transmitter sends the encrypted message using morse code. Nothing ever gets decrypted and no one, not even the user, can see the original message. The laser wavelength sits at 650nm on the atmospheric window to have at least a portion of photons emitted leave the atmosphere. More info is available at https://wishoom.com/about
After reaching few hundred users and positive feedback, we decided to share it with the PH community. You can use the promotion code on the launch to claim 50 credits from your account dashboard and get started.
@nuric Such a romantic and lovely dedication to human and the universe. Enjoy the launch!
@nuric @eric_johnson_95 Maybe I don't check PH that often but this is literally the sweetest launch ever! My heart is locked with this 🔐
@nuric The logo the idea. Awesome. Saw some doubts down here, perhaps let people know what are metaphors would help a bit. But the idea is great. Congrats.
@halgod Thank you! I think some people focus on the idea of sending a message to space means communicating with aliens. If you instead focus on transmitting photons into space created by your thoughts, prayers and wishes, it works. You can read more at https://wishoom.com/about
@nuric Wow so this part is actually legit. VERY dope man.
@german_merlo1 Thanks, it's great to see that the idea resonates with a lot of people.
Sending messages to the cosmos.. We all have messages we hope reach someone, but from which we don’t expect a reply.

@asimk Hahahha. I repeat. DO NOT ANSWER. DO NOT ANSWER. DO NOT ANSWER.
Something you should @elonmusk on X for promotion.
@umberto_abbatantuono We're based in Scotland, UK. And those are fair questions we try to answer in the faq (https://wishoom.com/about). Yes, we believe the photons from your transmission, at least a proportion of it leave the atmosphere at the 650nm wavelength through what's called atmospheric windows. Would anyone be able to detect it? No, but the idea is light from your message travels through, not that it would be detectable. We use an off-the-shelf 5 mW laser (650nm), common for laser pointers. We were waiting to 3D print a cooler case for the laser before putting photos of it but we don't share it's exact location in case people come and take it.
@umberto_abbatantuono @nuric Holy!!! You are really doing it!!!
Love the focus on privacy for secure communications! 😄
