MarginOfError Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 https://futurism.com/pepsi-orbital-billboard-night-sky No. Just No! Leave the skies alone, you filthy advertisers! https://elysiumspace.com/product/lunar-memorial/ And seriously? Have we finally come to an agreement that we've polluted our own planet enough that now it's time to start in on the moon? MrShorty 1 Quote
MrShorty Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 As an amateur astronomer, I would say that light pollution from earthbound lights is bad enough. Light pollution from orbit would ruin a whole lot of good observing. unixknight 1 Quote
unixknight Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 This is another facet of the problem I was griping about in the thread about the constant notifications... Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 I enjoy looking at the night sky and seeing God's creations. Advertisements posted in the night sky. Yuck! No thanks. Quote
Emmanuel Goldstein Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 This really ticks me off. It is bad enough that I have to see a billboard for ED surgery every day as I drive home. Now if I want to look at the night sky, I will have to watch an advertisement slide across my field of view? The EMP can't come soon enough. Come on mister Sun, aim carefully. Quote
NeuroTypical Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 Quote StartRocket plans to launch the system into orbit in 2021. It’s currently raising funds, it says — and a $20,000 investment will buy eight hours of advertising in the night sky. Hmmm... $20 grand for 8 hours? There are a few things I wanna say to all you people... MrShorty 1 Quote
