Advertise with Lunar Bulldozers?

[Jonfliesgoats]

Imagine landing a solar powered bull-dozed on the moon.  Companies pay for the dozen to shovel their corporate logo on given patches of lunar surface.  Anyone with a telescope could tell that Burger King sponsored a given crater, Boeing a given sea, etc.

For what purpose? There is no customer base on the moon. It would be a insurmountable amount of money to do with minuscule rewards, apart from "We did it!".

It would make more sense to spend that money on a permanent lunar colony.

Ideally to advertise to people on earth.  The Soviets scattered many metal, red stars on the dark side of the moon.

You do realize it would take a telescope to see the company logos, right? And for the last time, people, it's NOT the DARK side of the moon, it's the FAR side of the moon!

Of course it would take a telescope!  McDonalds would give them out with happy meals and advertise their new lunar effort on TV.  People would run outside at night, stare through their Optix McScope, and think "We gotta buy stock in McDonald's!" as advert-o-doze shovels around lunar dust.

Actually, I like the idea of McDonald's Optix McScope.

Would this be possible? Probably. 

It's a horrible idea though. It would be like allowing companies to carve their logos into the Grand Canyon. It would permanently and irrevocably deface the moon. The very thought makes me angry. 

Leave the moon alone.

[Jonfliesgoats]

Alright.  No moon menacing corporate evils!  I tend to agree with the idea of Moon advertising being garish vandalism.  I return to laser lig shows or somethign similar.

Silly, there is no considerable atmosphere on the Moon so how can it be FAR?

Dark side isn't totally inaccurate. Look at a New Moon. It's pretty dark.

yup but you forgot about one thing, you can't land on the moon and wrote a commercial message right now because someone is already there and would prefer to write something like:

"I m god, i grabbed a sit here because i can watch my beloved earth beings comfortably, don't come here, don't just don't, kindly with all the almighty kindness your dear and lovely all of you god wich love you all, and remind be as kind with me as i am with you my beloved all earth beings, just don't come"

each day the message will be wrote a different languages from earth, if you've not learnt ant language, tree language or inuit after birth, well just wait for the right day with a language you've learnt since birth know ...

 

oh well ... "oops 1/2" but ... sometime i just do wonder if that won't solve a few things temporarly ... ("god don't use money so you won't be able to buy anithing from him for your own message upthere")

...then dope them with petrol and light. One can begin selling fire decals on the Moon.

Ok. So, no objections against petrol.

Solar panels don't work, also called night. 

As for bulldozers, why don't reshape more on earth first and smaller scale. start with an sea level panama channel as an example. 
In short it would be idiotic expensive.

hahah, got me. Obviously it would first solidify and then sublime away pretty quick.

I think it would be a fitting tribute to our corporate/commercial world if the only thing left of humanity was an earth with a runaway greenhouse effect and "enjoy coke" etched into the near face of the moon.

How much "lazers" would it take to etch in a visible raised middle finger on it?

I could go along with leaving that for the world, future generations and aliens.
