People are too blasé about space travel these days. I know few of us actually do it and we don't live on the moon (as this commercial suggested) but look at modern toy commercials featuring alien worlds and outer space and how they're all too safe and friendly. Now check-out this awesome commercial for Mattel's space-based adventurer. Look past the Dr Seuss-esque rhyming commentary and listen to the music, the opening silence and the weird jumbled speech at the beginning. And who are those people in the background, silhouetted against the window? Parents? Or alien observers watching the children at play?
Perhaps it's just as well we didn't get to live on the moon after all, given how scary this commercial makes it all look...
