I remember reading a science-fiction short story as a boy, which involved companies building advertising signs on the moon so large they could be read from earth.

I read something that mentioned the same thing, as well as giant orbitting advertisments. I can't remember what it was though...

Does anyone remember the old cold war joke ?


"Mr. President, after the Sputnik now the Russians have landed on the moon ! And they are painting it red ALL over !! What shall we do ?!"

"Let's get a capsule up there, and paint "Coca Cola" in white on it !"
