Advertising in space, means no more view of stars from here.

If you think it's hard to see stars at night now, wait until Pepsi starts advertising in space. That would just be the beginning of the end as more and more advertisers would jump on the bandwagon. I really do like the idea of seeing some of the future stuff that I have written and drawn start to turn into reality. I am after all a huge sci-fi fan, but if this happens It will start to look an awful lot like this.

A Russian startup wants to launch tiny satellites into low-Earth orbit that’ll illuminate advertisements in the night sky.


StartRocket says it will launch what it calls the Orbital Display by 2020, and start displaying ads in the night sky by 2021. Its cubesats will orbit at an altitude between 400 and 500 kilometers (about 250 to 310 miles) and will only be visible from the ground for about six minutes at a time, a company representative told Futurism.
