After 60 years of transmitting television signals powerful enough to reach beyond the earth’s atmosphere, bloggers now have the chance to beam their blogs into outer space.

The free service, BloginSpace.com - set up by MindComet - will transmit web feeds of weblogs, into deep space via a powerful satellite broadcast.

Ted Murphy, president and CEO of the Florida-based firm MindComet said: “We are giving bloggers the opportunity to send a piece of their lives into space to potentially connect with extra-terrestrials.”

“I’ve always believed that other intelligent life forms are out there, and now, for the first time, they will be able to peer into the life of average homo sapiens,” said Mr Murphy.

MindComet wants to offer any alien beings a new way of looking at Earth. “This program gives us the opportunity to show our race in a different light.”
