SpaceX - Can the Pepsi Cola Space Platform be far Behind?

Space X just docked the first recoverable private cargo capsule with
the International Space Station. Space is going private. Is that a
good thing? Can we regulate what private companies do in space? If
not is that a bad thing?

I don't recall if it was Coca Cola or PepsiCo who oiriginally offered
to bankroll the ISS if they could have their logo painted the length
of the station. Now that we have private companies directly in the
space delivery business how long will it be before there is a 500 mile
long light array in our night sky proudly hawking feminine hygene
products? Without government regulation how graphic will it be?
LOL.

You can already put your very own satellite into orbit:

beams and makes the entire world my TOTAL ZOMBIE SLAVES!!!...or
something.

So you're going to reinvent broadcast TV?
