Japanese Beverage Company: To put first ad on the Moon

[Vivapin8]

Japanese are masters of advertising:


Next they will send a giant robot with giant robot boobs on a moon.

Hilarious in so many ways, also the one from 1:50 is damn good for ... research.... and the from 6:08 is inspiring.

I'm aware of that.

I only ever wanted people to know more.. I was so pleased with myself for sharing this infomation, but now my my smile has been crushed by a single response.

[giovannileanza]

This...I...I...

Even wondered where the idea/proof of concept for a Rocket that is launched into space comes from?

THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, MISSILES!

Check your facts please.

I know where rocket technology comes from thank you, i'm not a 12 year old keyboard warrior so please don't take me for a fool. Just saying, the budget for space development should be bigger. It's far less than what governments spend on weapons and you know it.

[Remilia]

Guns won't fire on the moon, not enough oxygen as an accelerant!

As I remember, Mythbusters did that in a vacuum and proved that you can fire a gun in a no oxygen environment.

Rocket development is the biggest physical space exploration advancement we have made and you said it didn't come from weapons technology, when it did. It's not my fault you made a wrong claim.

It's not that simple you must understand this. Throwing money at something does not make things go faster necessarily, some discoveries come from chance or gradual advancements, we can't make a bio-dome liveable and practical on Earth (taking into account both social interactions and physical needs) let alone on another planet.

I don't remember saying rockets didn't come from military advancements.. at least you are taking me seriously now.

Yet weapons technology made significant progress because researchers throw money at 'em, especially during times of war (like the 2nd World War). Well at least there is some progress when it comes to space, seeing Opportunity land on Mars was pretty awesome, and there are some serious plans to send people there.

Yeah, weapons development unfortunately, not space development.

You're saying space rockets aren't space development?

[Deleted]

The moon is not something to be used as an advertising tool. This is littering.

Tell that to the people who put a colored hanky on a stick there

Nope I apologize if i said something that confused you.

Then there is a clear misunderstanding because Space Rockets come from Missiles. Missiles come from weapons development. Yet you said that there are no developments in space development from war when in-fact there is.

Unless I'm confused here, I believe their point is no one made the missile going "We will use this for space", they made it and afterwards people realized "Maybe we can use this in other ways". More of an accidental side effect than anything else.

no the moon is a giant billboard nobody has used yet

Which is correct but that still doesn't nullify a development in space technology that came from weapons development and war.

[tss]

So when our first colony lands on the moon, they'll find a goddamn billboard trying to sell them soda.

Wonderful.

People like you are the worst, just reading the headline/topic and making a kneejerk response without reading the article.

Nobody owns the moon, nor does it currently possess any current land value for us. Also this is not littering, it is similar to leaving reflective equipment on the moon but this possesses no scientific value. If they were putting a giant flag saying "buy our shit" on the moon and it was visible from Earth then i'd agree, but they aren't.

Technically the United States owns the moon. We were the first ones to claim it and put our flag on it.

A flag does not indicate ownership.

If landing on it and putting shit on the surface is all it takes to "own something" then the Soviets had you beat by quite a margin.

By the same logic America isn't owned by America. Therefore America does not own the moon because they do not own themselves.

I own everything.

Sure, but technically we have rights to the moon because we were the first ones to "colonize" it. We put equipment there, drove a rover around the surface, conducted scientific experiments, and played golf on the moon.

No one else has put their feet on the moon other than the United States. Finders keepers anyone?

But this is off topic. I still think its cool Japan will have a company that puts its product on the moon. They would just need to step foot there, and put their flag there to claim a portion of the moon. (if we let them )
