I think we need to root out these hidden dinosaurs once and for all.

Bird watching goes both ways.

How was the original proposal supposed to work? The only space add concepts I’ve seen have been a camera recording a screen with adds in space, essentially using the earth as a fancy background.

50 cubesats are planned. Each satellite would unfurl a 32 square meter sail that reflects the sun. Each sat forms a pixel and by getting into the right direction they can show s logo. Because it needs the sun to work it would only work at sunset over the target city.

JohnDClay ,

Hmm, 50 pixels in one color for a few minutes for one day for a few minutes seems like little return for a lot of work. Let’s hope it remains economicaly infeasible. Because space treaties for anything takes forever.

Gonna’ have to see your source on this one.

Idk, but they can do this now with drones.

I had the very same gut response as Lauren.

i remember reading about this idea on the paper in the 80s. i think the loggistics of launching such a large structure to orbit, just achieve bad PR would be have terrible ROI

I imagine if done irl it wouldn’t be one solid space structure, but instead something like a ground based projector operating on cloudy nights, projecting an ad into the bottom of the cloud layer, or if actually in space, an array of satellites that each act as a “pixel”, with a laser that they can shine at a city or location that they want the ad visible from.

Fortunately for us, this wouldn’t actually work that way. Rather, each of the individual satellites would have a different orbit so the image wouldn’t remain consistent, but instead converge into a point and invert itself on the other side of the Earth before coming back together again and repeating this process until they start colliding with one another or decay into the atmosphere. That is, unless each “pixel” made constant adjustments throughout the orbit, which would be a colossal waste of fuel.

Disclaimer: this is based only on my intuition from 780+ hours of Kerbal Space Program. I am not a scientist and I’ve never studied orbital mechanics.

Airazz ,

No need to launch anything, just use a powerful projector aimed at the cloud layer.

Like the Bat signal.

A large projector, in a single easily bombed location

I believe the preferred phrase is “hack into the mainframe.”

But I can’t remember the last time I lived somewhere I could see actual stars…

chrp92 ,

Oh yeah, we are monitored all the time, we have ai cameras everywhere, all our devices have backdoors, big companies know everything about us, goverments support these companies, we are constantly being manipulated through the media, but ads in the sky is where I draw the line. Fuck off.

Kecessa ,

Implying the places where that would happen have any kind of night view…

it’s only a matter of time before they start slapping ads on the Vegas sphere

I think we’re talking weeks or months here, not years.
