    Do we not remember when futurama tried this and accidently lasered a convention?

    On a more serious note, how is it fair if say a neighbouring business orders this service and now what, your whole neighbourhood just doesn’t get night time anymore? The local climate just gets a few degrees hotter, no biggie?

    I remember Russians talking about space billboards at some point.

    Glad that never came off the ground.

    Imagine a gigantic glowing billboard and passing over at night.
