    When deep space exploration ramps up, it will be corporations that name everything. The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Philip Morris Galaxy. Planet Starbucks.

    Exactly. Pepsi does NOT keep their promises. If "No objective person could reasonably have concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers a Harrier jet," then why should any objective person reasonably conclude that they are actually offering consumers a ride into space? There are too many variables outside Pepsi's control, including the health of the winner.

    This is Yet Another Pepsi Scam, just like their ads showing people dating Britney because they drink Pepsi's drek.

    Does it strike anyone else that the people least likely to be fit enough to travel to space are also the ones who guzzle tons of soft drinks?

    And yes, I almost certainly fit into that group too.
