The area required would be enormous for a few robots to cover. Add to that that the moons terrain over such a distance will make it also prohibitive. Surely it can’t be feasible.

But seriously, this is screwed up. Like, get my bat with a nail driven through it screwed up. I’m reminded of the Family Guy episode where Ted Turner (I believe) states that he “colorized the moon”.

I thought "Moonvertising" was going to consist of ads projected by laser onto the lunar surface (The phase of the Moon would be somewhat irrelevant) --- and, although this would do no permanent damage, even that seemed like a pretty stoopit idea.

I know, many marketing plans have spurred consumer backlash, but I would submit that the potential for backlash in those cases was not as obvious and extreme as this one is.

This guy thinks that 1) his project can free up tax dollars for humanitarian aid and 2) can save mankind... when we all know he's just trying make a sleazy screw-all living by turning the moon into a giant billboard! That's not even the sad part. What's REALLY sad is that he thinks he can actually do this and that he actually spent to time to have a video made(that he probably funded).
