- deogeo 8y ago> According to project leader Vlad Sitnikov, this commodification of the night sky is the next logical step in advertising. And the next logical step to that is guillotines.

- na85 8y agoAdvertisers feel entitled to ruining the night sky? Color me surprised. Fucking disgusting. Advertisers are scum, and if you're reading this and working in ads or adtech, shame on you.
- avmich 8y agoNot sure if aircraft safety will be a defensible complaint. But something along lines of UN Humanity Heritage Commons could be. There is a rather effective way to control launches - whatever goes to orbit passes that, or else - so it might get challenging to launch this kind of advertisement. At least for now.
- jobigoud 8y agoWe already have aircraft based adverts (on beaches or the Goodyear blimp) so probably not a good avenue. Also every time we launch something in space there are pieces of garbage that stay there in low orbit for years, so it doesn't look like the place is considered of very high cultural value at the moment.
