You are right, we should be able to build a mega laser cluster capable of projecting ads on the surface of the moon.
Not the moon, that’s thinking too small.
It should be completely covering the night sky, making it bright as day with glorious capitalism!
Omg I would love this so much
Never again would you sit there, wondering what to spend your money on.
You’d just know because it’s beamed into your brain all night long!

That’s not horizon to horizon.
In Heinlein's story "The Man Who Sold The Moon", a businessman threatens to put a corporate logo on the moon ... in order to get a rival company to bid higher to keep the moon un-logo'd.
I have to imagine that the only reason we haven't seen this happen yet is because the technology to do so hasn't been invented yet.
But, assuming that somebody comes up with some sort of projector-like device that can actually do this... is there anything that would legally prevent it from happening? Like, are there any sort of international laws against advertising on celestial bodies?
