Glowing Interstellar Billboards

Consumers are aware of clever corporate marketing techniques designed to influence our purchasing choices and opinions about things. A Russian startup StarRocket plans to revolutionize traditional advertising techniques with space billboards.

StarRocket is planning to turn the sky into an enormous canvas for satellite-generated ads.  Satellites will be used to light up different messages for six minutes at a time. StarRocket believes that the relevant technology for the space billboards will be ready by 2020. (via)
