MOSCOW -- Orion, the Big Dipper and Andromeda could be joined in the heavens by ads for soft drinks and cigarettes if a Russian inventor's device catches on.
Alexander Lavrynov, a spacecraft designer, said he has patented a device for putting advertising into space that would be seen from Earth, Interfax news agency reported Wednesday.
"Space commercials could embrace huge areas and a colossal number of consumers," he said. "This would literally be intercontinental coverage."
He said the satellites would be visible in the night sky by employing sunlight reflectors, with multiple satellites linked together to create a message large enough to be seen.
"People would be able to see writing in the skies from the Earth no worse than they see the stars," he said.
I would say this would be a worthy cause to nuke Russia for, but something similar was discussed in the USA a few years ago. NASA wanted to put a few huge balloons in orbit, that would have company logos on them, and would have appeared to be about 1/8th the size of the moon to people looking up at them. That plan may still be on the table somewhere.
I don't watch television, I can turn off the TV but I can't block out the sky. With any luck this will be such a fundamental violation that the masses will not stand for it.

Really though, we've basically scarred the landscape with skyscrapers, homes, factories and the like, not to mention have polluted the world and basically made it look ewwish in some areas.
Now we're going to take one of the few beautiful things left and make it into a gigantic billboard which will basically RUIN IT.
