I am in shock over a news article that tells how a Japanese hotel company plans to offer newlyweds at their hotels to have their names inscribed on titanium plaques that is then brought to the ISS and released in a cubesat: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-...where-44954050
OK, I can understand that the hotel company wants to draw attention to their hotels, but I can't understand why the Japanese space agency cooperates in releasing useless space junk.
It reminds me of the so-called love locks that garnish bridges all over the world, causing ugliness and even damage to the bridges. Now we can have it in space too.
The inventiveness is unlimited when space is going to be utilized: we have heard of plans to release "art" that will be visible over most of the world, huge mirrors to illuminate cities at night, and even meteor showers to be released on demand (https://phys.org/news/2018-07-stars-...teor.html#nRlv)
