Forget Advertising Online…Advertise on the Moon!

I don’t know about you but there are many times when I wonder what’s next after online advertising. “Where do we go from here?”

The answer is here and it’s from Moon Publicity — you can now advertise on the moon. When you buy an image on the moon, it’s available for a few days each month and apparently will last thousands of years.

Today is also the 40th anniversary of the first man on the moon.

Here’s an overview of the “shadow shaping” robot technology which is used to create the ads. “New Shadow Shaping technology creates images on the moon that can be seen from Earth.  Robots are used to create several small ridges in the lunar dust over large areas that capture shadows and shape them to form logos, domains names or memorials.”

Bids are being accepted for the ad slots starting at $46,000.

From the release, “Finally dependency on government to travel beyond Earth is over,” says inventor David Kent Jones. “This new commercial incentive will turbo charge space technology development. Shadows are just the beginning; eventually robots will be planting crops on other planets.” 

Here’s a short overview video of how the Moon Publicity robot works:
