It seems like it would be much easier to finally make some self-replicating bots, or just self-repairing bots, or even just a small factory that can produce bots... And leave it there for a couple of decades with the task of writing that 'hello' message.

You just have to invent a way to change albedo of a surface using only local resources. You also need to think how exactly you're going to cover that territory of France - how heavy should be robots doing that, how many of them, how they'll withstand harsh environment - and require replacements...

Fantastic! As a side note: I wasn't aware how _little_ surface damage nuclear weapons actually inflict. I was always under the impression that a nuke would level entire cities + surrounding suburbs.

They do more damage when detonated in the air above the target, where the shockwave can do most of the work.

If we really has the ability to write on the moon, what will most people agree to write? hm....It's a difficult problem.

my sister's mom makes $174/hr by writing on the moon. She has been out of a job for ten months but last month her check was $16431 just posting ads on the moon for a few hours. look at this web-site....

Cellular automata sent to billboard the moon would be a great concept for a sci-fi short story.
