Default AT LAST! Markets find use for ISS


The golf shot from space. Ticker eglf
The Element 21 Golf Co, and their new scandium alloy golf club.

A publicity stunt, or more like buying a Super Bowl ad
Meant to create a big splash for its new product and
pump up the stock price.

So how did the ISS do as a marketing tool?

Even though the golf shot is months off, the effect
in the stock price takes place the day the stunt
is announced. Which was Feb 9. A nice follow
on to the big news announced just before on
Jan 4, PGA approval of their new club.

The PGA approval sent the stock up from
about 5 cents to almost 40 cents very quickly.

The ISS news sent the stock up about 20 percent for
a couple of weeks.

Nice concept, but to a shareholder a big flop.
Perhaps the next CEO will learn from this mistake.
Maybe hang a long shiny banner from the ISS that
we can see from the ground.

Ya, that's it, the first Space Pop-Up.

Our Moon and Mars colonies share something rather
important with the ISS. That is both 'visions' have the
same level of planning concerning their future use.

Faith!

So they will share the same fate, you can bank on it.
Nasa is not wasting taxpayer money so much
as wasting several /more/ decades.

Just the thought of it turns my stomach into knots.
