Pizza hut in space!

from the no-click-throughs dept

Ryan Bethencourt writes "It looks like the russian space agency is ahead of NASA in one aspect. It doesn't mind allowing companies to advertise on their rockets (it makes financial sense!). I think this is going to start a growing trend, in space agencies that seem to be increasingly short of cash." Yes, but how many people actually watch the launches? How many eyeballs? Remember, it's all about eyeballs...

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    hm

    Advertising is getting so ridiculous these days. Advertisers are seeking out every little nick and cranny they can possibly find and try to put ads there. You know it's getting ridiculous when there's ads on space shuttles, the golden gate bridge, and for christs sake, the back of the god damn identification tags you put on your luggage when you travel on airlines.
    I hate this crap. Seeing advertisements in these kinds of places makes me want to boycot these places, not go and buy whatever crap they're selling.
