Want a selfie with Earth? This YouTuber’s satellite has you covered

According to The Verge, if someone tells Rober where they live, he will take the selfie while the satellite is hovering over the city and tell the user exactly when the photo will be taken. This means you can technically photobomb your own selfie.

For those wondering, the satellite will be launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX aboard the Transporter 12 mission sometime in January next year and will start taking selfies a few months later.

While Rober and T-Mobile say that the selfie is free, there’s a catch. The Verge says that users will need a CrunchLabs subscription, a service that sells engineering kits for kids to get the free code for the out-of-the-world selfie. To give you a quick recap, CrunchLab subscriptions usually cost somewhere between $25 to $80.

These codes will be available starting December 3 on spaceselfie.com. To get your Earth selfie, all you have to do is upload your selfie on the website, following which you will get an email that will tell you when your selfie will be taken.

In a recent YouTube video, Rober said that the satellite has two cameras alongside two Google Pixel phones attached on both sides of the satellite, which is powered by a 120Wh battery pack.
