<<Pizza Hut marketers first considered burning a billboard into the moon with lasers, Chief Executive Officer Mike Rawlings said. But astronomers and physicists advised that the image would have to be the size of Texas to be seen by Earthlings more than 238,000 miles away.>> In Robert A. Heinlein's "The Man Who Sold the Moon," written nearly fifty years ago, Heinlein's main character walks into the office of a soft drink company's president wearing a badge with the competition's logo on it. When scolded, he explained that at this distance the badge was about the same size as the moon. How would you like your competition's logo there? We would never do that, of course, unless we could not get funding any other way. He walked away with a check. Then went to the competition, changed badges, and got a check from there, too.
