    Russian company wants to put giant ads in low-Earth orbit; they could display corporate logos “and other brand emblems, as well as allow governments to flash urgent notifications during emergencies.” http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/01/billboards-in-space …pic.twitter.com/KcaIHkhyPM

        Oh I’m sorry. I did not read the article because the pic/headline made me realize anyone who thinks this is a good idea is not going to be someone I want to read.
