Elon Musk has become one of the most visible faces of the space race in recent years. The billionaire does not stop surprising his fans and the world in general with the extravagant ideas that he comes up with to take beyond our sky. A few days ago he announced that his rocket, Starship Space X would be about 120 meters high , therefore the largest ever seen, now he has had another idea to do business in space.
The billionaire has announced that he will launch a satellite that he will put into orbit to play advertising in space. This satellite will have a screen that can reproduce logos , advertisements and all kinds of advertising content to be seen throughout our known universe.
In the words of Samuel Reid, CEO of GEC, a company that works hand in hand with Elon Musk, in a recent interview for Business Insider, the possibility of taking advertisements into space is real: “One side of the satellite will have a pixelated screen where the ads, logos and art will appear. ‘
Space trade
The space race generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year, but it also generates many millions of dollars in expenses. Therefore, the search to make the business profitable continues to be one of the premises of these space adventurers.
Elon Musk wants to be another of the pioneers of space, as Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos did last July. The idea is that this advertising screen will be launched in a couple of years, right after completing the DOGEI mission that will be financed with the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
Upon completion of DOGEI, which is scheduled to launch into space in the first quarter of 2022 , Elon Musk and his team will launch the ad-supported satellite into the universe. People will be able to send messages, place announcements and they will be able to control everything related to their announcement on the screen of the space.
It will also be financed through cryptocurrencies and the owners of the ads will be able to control the coordinate, brightness, color and duration of the ad.
It will not be seen on Earth
Following the words of Elon Musk and Samuel Reid, the CEO of GEC wanted to clarify on his social networks that it will not be invasive advertising. What’s more, this screen will not be viewed from Earth, only data will be transmitted from space to a viewing screen captured in space. It will be advertising for people in space.
