In the most wide-scale advertising attempt ever known, Google plans to
brand its logo into the surface of the moon so that it is visible from
Earth.

The search giant will pay the US government an estimated $1bn for the

"You've heard of Google Mars and Google Earth, where we show you maps of
those planets? Well this is Google Moon, where we become the world's biggest
brand," said an unnamed source at the company.
