Do Not Advertise In Space

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. government does not want billboards in space.

The Federal Aviation Administration proposed Thursday to amend its regulations to ensure that it can enforce a law that prohibits "obtrusive" advertising in zero gravity.

"Objects placed in orbit, if large enough, could be seen by people around the world for long periods of time," the FAA said in a regulatory filing.

Space Advertise Do

Unless there is an environmental reason for disallowing such advertising, I would have to say that for the right price, let someone advertise in space if they want too. The problem is who will own the rights to space, and therefore, who will need to be paid to allow the advertising to take place. Countries may be forced to own the space directly above their regions, but what will happen to space above the sea, etc. It is a very tricky and slippery issue indeed, but, in my opinion, I don't have a problem looking up at a large Pepsi billboard floating in space.

Well by this it seems that the US is laying claim to it. Maybe they are doing it for just their country, but at the same time what is 'space' really? I mean how much 'above' do you really own since once you leave the earth's orbit there is really no such thing as up, down, above, below, etc. I fell the main reason for this might be based on planes being able to fly 'in' space now.

That is the tricky part of all of this. Right now we have the concept of 'air space'. If we decide to continue with the possibility of space advertising, then the concept of 'space space' will need to be implemented.
