Here is something weird (but also wonderful). Hyundai is getting a lot of press about their ‘A Message to Space’ campaign, in which they apparently created a 5,556,411.86 m² (59,808,480.26 ft²) tire track image carved into the Nevada desert to Astronaut Terry W. Virts on board the ISS from his daughter (although officially they only mention it as “from 12-year-old Stephanie to her astronaut father”).

It’s quite a moving campaign and a rather amazing feat.

What’s weird about this, though, is that I can’t find any confirmation or mention that it actually happened from NASA, the ISS or the astronauts on board. Terry’s Twitter account, where he is constantly posting images, has nothing about this. Surely, if he actually took a picture of this (as Hyundai claims), he would have posted it. He is posting about everything else, including drawings his daughter is sending him on paper.

I’m not saying it didn’t happen, it most likely did, especially considering they have been verified by the Guinness Book of Records. But, why is there no mention about it from anyone else than Hyundai? Why this total silence from NASA?

The image that we see in the video and on their website is not from the ISS. It is instead taken from an imaging satellite. And when, in the video, we see the camera being held up, that image is very clearly photoshopped in.

Also consider that Hyundai makes no mention of who the father is in their press announcement. Why is that? Is it because it's advertising, and they don't want to be affiliated with it?

Again, I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but it’s so weird that there is no reaction from NASA, the ISS crew or the astronauts. Especially how super-social NASA is with pretty much everything.

There is also no 3rd party information about it in the press. Every newspaper is pretty much just copy/pasting from the official Hyundai press release.

I don’t get it. My journalistic-‘wait-a-minute’ senses are tingling. There is something missing here. It’s an amazing campaign, but something about it isn’t quite right.

Of course, it's entirely likely that the reason NASA is giving Hyundai the silent treatment is simply because they are not at all pleased with the idea of Hyundai exploiting the ISS for commercial reasons.

это правда изнутри МКС?

Hyundai не раскрывает имя астронавта, даже в ролике его лицо обрезано. Тем не менее, журналисты быстро выяснили, что скорей всего это Терри Вёртс, командир нынешнего экипажа Международной космической станции.

entirely likely
