Imagine scraping together savings to go see the Aurora Borealis, and you end up having to try and ignore the space ad for Arby's.

Sounds pretty cyberpunk that adblockers could soon be a guerilla group sabotaging rocket launches instead of FOSS devs

Yeah no, if this happens, I hope we shoot that shit down/net it back down to earth. What a spectacular waste of resources.

Don’t we already have a ridiculous amount of space garbage floating around up there?

And advertising garbage visible from down here (not up in space but damn near anywhere else)?

The big dipper is usually under the Ricola ad. Every year you can see Venus come out of the ricola wrapper and into the big dipper.

Need to carefully define what advertising they're taking about. For example, would Mark Rober's selfies from space count? What about when pizza hut or Pepsi sponsored soyuz? Is it only advertising that's visible from the ground?

The article is talking about things than can be seen from the ground without a telescope.
