I’ve always wanted to see space exploration paid for with ad dollars.
Let’s beam back images from the solar system in 4k 24/7 as part of the next Voyager type missions. The profits could be used to pay for new missions.
- orbital-decay 8y agoThe problem with "Voyager type" missions is that the next launch window will be available in 2150s.
- labster 8y agoHopefully the SLS rocket will be working by then.
- gmiller123456 8y agoThe view from Voyager doesn't change very fast, so no need for video. NASA does stream live video from the ISS [1], not very exciting when they're on the dark side of the Earth (just a black image). No ad revenue though, I guess real life space isn't as interesting to as many people as people in a pawn shop reading from scripts.

- melling 8y agoI was thinking more like parking them in orbit around each planet. A couple of new Mars rovers, etc.
- tobylane 8y agoThey fix the hardware, which needs to be hardened, a long time before launch. The capability to do something wouldn't happen in the same decade people call it blurry but passable.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoDespite all the horrifying implications (NASA suddenly being directly funded by big oil), I want this just to give the Flat Earth Society a chance to advertise.
