Or maybe they would be placed on the TV image electronically. It will happen. Space exploration is expensive, so why not? It worked for race teams.

I don't know what happened to the plan, but I'm very glad it hasn't gone through. What a night sky that would be.

This reminds me of a Cold War joke my dad told me.

One man (American) says to another
"Hey, you hear about the moon?"

"No, what?"

"The Russians landed and painted it red two days ago."

"Oh no!"

"But don't worry, we landed yesterday and wrote 'Coca-Cola' on it."
