Japan has announced plans to become the first country to advertise on the moon.

According to UPI, Japanese company Otsuka plans to send a 2.2 pound titanium can to the moon that will act as a miniature billboard. The can will be filled with Pocari Sweat Powder, which turns into a sports drink when water is added. Otsuka said it hopes to inspire people to travel the almost 250 thousand miles to the moon and be the first to add water to the cannister, creating a well-deserved refreshment after the long journey.

“Otsuka hopes that one day youths interested in space will live out their dreams, collect the DREAM CAPSULE and drink the POCARI SWEAT mixed with the water found on the moon,” said the press release.

The can is expected to hit the lunar surface via the Falcon 9 spacecraft, which was designed by SpaceX under billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.

The capsule will be engraved with messages from Japanese schoolchildren, stored as data on 120 titanium plates.

Earth trash to be spread through out the Universe!

Is the lunar all night diner located on the dark side of the moon?

[Viking2002]

If there isn’t some sort of U.N. resolution to prevent junking up the moon like that, there ought to be. That’s just tacky. And we got more than enough tacky to go around down here as it is.

[mikrofon]

MOST important would be that they bring back the used can to Recycle, so as not to litter the lunar landscape…

[kingattax]

since it’s doing such a great job with the earth, you suggest letting the UN start mucking up space too ?

you might want to rethink that

Is no darkside, only nearside and farside.

Yeah, on second thought, they’d find a way to having it look like Times Square in the process.........

Sounds less like a billboard and more like a remotely situated can of dehydrated sports drink. How far do they expect somebody to go for a bottle of Gatorade, anyway?

Same thing:

No, in orbit.

Hope they don’t perish from lack of oxygen when they open their face shield to drink the mixture...
