These adverts are out of this world
A US company is offering businesses the chance to market themselves in space.
They send billboards 20 miles into the sky before taking pictures of the ads showing the logo contrasted by the blackness of space and the curve of the earth.
But rather than launching rockets the space program by JP Aerospace involves high altitude balloons and parachutes to bring it back down.
Companies wanting to appeal to ET can pay between £200 for a 2x2in advert to £2,100 for a 4x8in full panel, they may want to also consider offering a little green man discount.
A spokesperson for the company said: "We fly a high altitude balloon, carrying the ad, to the edge of space. We take hundreds of pictures of it and return the vehicle to Earth by parachute.
"They’re very dramatic images," added company boss John Powel.
"There is nothing like having the Earth for a background."
