Laser image of US Flag on the moon?

Actually, even if it is a bad idea, could it be done?


God, I hope not!

Such a laser'ed image would have to be done using the 'flying spot'
technique, the way a moving electron beam 'paints' the picture on a TV
screen. Hey go for it. USA all the way!

Come on.....How could you call having the US Flag displayed anywhere be
graffiti? Okay, just to be fair, how about we show your flag too? Better
yet, since we, the US of A, have 50 states, we could just display each
state
once a week, then display the US flag for the other two weeks.

I do not think so. Even a pencil lead thin laser beam fired from Earth would
be to dispersed to be visible when it struck the moon.

Here's an idea! Could NASA or some other org paint a laser image of
the
US flag on the moon ever 9/11?


If every US citizen and government would have hold the opinion that this
sort of ideas are simply revolting there might not have been a need for
your idea in the first place.

Thank you, at least someone gets the idea!
