The corporation that will do this, will become the most hated brand in the universe.

If pepsi had the idea to push sales and just grow, then this action is the last idea, that should be spent a second on.

In the past week i read about a russian corp. that tries the same.

It's strange to even comment on this. Is this really real reality? Some time ago, these ideas would have been pipe dreams, but in our times everything seems possible to be executed. Why? Because we can. So why not?

Light pollution and advertisements are two of my least-favorite things, and to combine them is just too much for me to tolerate. I will be boycotting any company that advertises in this manner.

Indeed - I consider most advertisement to be visual and mental pollution. It's a shame how our living environment has been allowed to be colonized by ads.

Remember the time Pepsi wanted to project their logo onto the moon using ground-based lasers? They hadn't bothered to check if it was feasible. Sounds like the same story repeating itself again.

It's like they didn't even read the recent article on all the lost cubesats in orbit. :) https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/2/18277344/space-situational...
