YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAre you ready for ads in outer space? You heard that right. Russia has a plan that would synchronize the lights and movements of around 50 satellites to create ads in outer space. And Russian researchers say that using satellites to advertise in space would cost about $65 million upfront but could bring in over $2 million a day.
Will it work? Well, we don't know yet. But we do know that it will add to the space junk surrounding our planet. There are currently around 2000 active satellites orbiting the Earth- a lot of them belong to Elon Musk. But there's also around 3000 inactive ones, and we don't know what to do with those yet. And these ads by the Russians would also create visual pollution for everyone around the planet.
Think about it. We're kind of tired of ads. They're everywhere: videos, news articles, your mailbox, your email, and it's extremely sad to think that we might not be able to look up at the sky and see the stars without seeing ads. Time will tell, but as the boomer mantra goes, "money talks." So, if Russia's experiment starts making money, we might be replacing constellations with fast food and car logos.
