SpaceX will lauch an space billboard for space advertising.
>Elon Musk’s SpaceX will put a huge advertising satellite in the sky where companies can display logos and other promoted content.
>The space company is working with a Canadian startup Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) to launch the satellite on a Falcon 9 rocket, which will release the advertising platform before the rocket reaches the moon.
>Samuel Reid, CEO and co-founder of GEC, told Business Insider that the satellite would be released in 2022. People and companies would buy tokens to locate and design a pixel on the screen.
>"There might be companies which want to depict their logo ... or it might end up being a bit more personal and artistic. Maybe Coca-Cola and Pepsi will fight over their logo and reclaim over each other,” he said.
>It is currently unclear how large the ads will be, how many ads will be shown at any one time, the environmental impact of bright advertising on local flora and fauna, and the energy use of the satellite. Neither SpaceX nor GEC responded to The Independent’s request for comment before time of publication.
>GEC is also the group behind the satellite Doge-1, which Mr Musk said would be the “first crypto in space” and the “first meme in space”.
