Mova Globes Mova Rotating Jupiter 4.5 diam. In. Globe, Blue

Q: Any possibility of contacting the maker and arranging a deal for a life-size model? Batteries ok for that deal. Nah, but how high does it float?

You might want to talk to Claes Oldenburg about creating the giant economy size for you but I don't think it will fit in the Pacific Ocean. Also, as has been stated, you might want to choose Saturn instead as it would float, although it wouldn't matter much because the ocean is only a couple of miles deep. Have you looked into getting a life-sized Earth to sink into Jupiter instead? Could be fun. Contact StarFleet interstellar relations for permits and more info.

Q: mine never rotate unless I turnt it myself. I tried putting it beside a window or a strong room light but nothing worked. any ideas?

I would recommend exchanging it for a new one if that's still an option for you. Mine turns fine in natural light about three feet away from a window. Good luck!

Q: The 6" Jupiter is expensive. How many years of use can I expect?

Mine lasted a bit over 3 years. It developed a huge bubble in the top, and no longer spins. It was never dropped. The "bubble of death" is a common problem with these.

Q: After two years globe stopped working water level dropped to 1 inch what happened??? Is it fixable

I contacted them, but what they said was "That shouldn't have happened" and offered no help or replacement or discounted exchange even. My bubble came after about a year or so, and once that happens it stops spinning
