The Superbowl ad reminds us of when we had goals for space exploration and actually accomplished them not #journeytomars hash tags that are mere mirages of actual goals. When we focused our collective minds to solve the problem of space we engineered great things for the benefit of all but sadly today we PowerPoint away our time talking about going but never leaving the shallow waters of low earth orbit because of myopic vision and attention deficit. I expect a redirect in a year or two that puts us with our international partners on a path for a lunar gateway, telerobotics on the surface, then a lunar base. An international Mars mission is realistically no earlier than 2050. The Moon is calling it is time to answer.
SpaceX is making progress and talking a big Mars game he is just as stuck on the plateau of LEO as us. Bigelow dreams of big hotels but still behind. Planetary Resources dazzles us with untold riches but yet to deliver.
If an advertising agency thinks that images of Apollo have deep emblematic meaning, perhaps they would communicate those notions to our representatives in Congress, who apparently have little congruence with that particular reality.
Yep, old faded memories of time when we could fly to the moon. Nothing that a little ride around the mountains in a zippy car can’t fix.

Hard to find anything more emblematic of our malaise.
Another emblem perhaps. R8: 24.8 MPG. Just what our overheated world needs…
What’s sad is that I liked the commercial for it’s nostalgic genius.
If it weren’t for SpaceX and Blue Origin, I would be clinically depressed.
