A Trip to the Moon on a Commercial Airline



The future is here ...in our dreams. Imagine planning a family vacation trip to the moon! Or, of course it would be more affordable for just two, especially if you really, really wanted to impress someone. This video shows what we might have today if we had unlimited space program budgets and none of the corner cutting that has lead to well-known space disasters. The airline pictured is labeled Pan-Am to make it clear that this is a retro fantasy and not something that NASA has planned or even imagined. YouTuber yukon09 made this animation in the game Kerbel Space Program using imagery inspired by the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Both the aesthetic and the music are retro-futuristic as if this adventure were from the 1970s, showing a future we have not yet achieved all these years later. The song is "4:00 AM" by Taeko Onuki from 1978. -via The Awesomer
