Orbital Billboards, a great way to ruin the night sky

Why would anyone read the garbage from that website? Don't click on the link and have it cause problems with your computer.

Even for the amazing advertising, especially for the first few companies that do it, the cost has got to be astronomical (ha!).

I need to read more about it... I'm not quite understanding how they are going to do it. Something about projecting onto mylar panels?

Target practice for anti-satellite weapons anyone?

From the article "A Russian company called StartRocket"

We got to do something about these Russians. Perhaps we can restrict the orbital billboards to over Russia.

I think we all know that is not going to happen. But, it does bring up the question, who owns the sky?

As long as they keep it over Russia.

Awful idea. Just awful.
