  • Good morning, John.

  • Um so, honestly, why?

  • I just can't right now.

  • So instead, I'm going to indulge in three things.

  • I like a lot of home soda, carbonation, Mars and pedantic over analysis Sodastream at a Super Bowl commercial.

  • It's one of the top, like five Sodastream commercials.

  • You might think I'm kidding, but no, Number one is definitely this one from the nineties.

  • It sold a streams against, busy with the physician to probably this one from the eighties.

  • Get with the family.

  • Sold really settled on a jingle during those years.

  • But they really stuck with get busy with the fizzy lick for decades, Which is a little baffling considering that, like, I will do a lot with the fizzy, but I tend to not get busy with it.

  • But anyway, Super Bowl commercial Mars Sodastream.

  • I got to talk about it, right?

  • Especially because I think there is some teaching moments here.

  • Shot number one.

  • Establishing shot from Mars Drone camp to shot number two.

  • Our astronauts on Mars shot number three.

  • They're excited about something.

  • Shot number four, Show number five.

  • It's water on Mars.

  • Yeah, I might have some problems with this.

  • There's enough confusion already about the water situation remarks when I probably never gonna find liquid water on Mars.

  • It's like physically impossible for there to be liquid water on Mars.

  • The temperature is too low for it to be liquid.

  • If it was not because the pressure is so low there, it would immediately evaporate into a gas into the atmosphere.

  • You might have heard of these like streaks that appear on the side of very steep mountains.

  • Those might be kind of flowing water, but they're seeping through soil there also, if they exist extremely sailing.

  • So they've got a bunch of salts in them, not like table salt, like per chlorate salts, which are super toxic.

  • Shot number six were at Mission Control, which is very quick shot, but I have a lot to say about it.

  • There are no NASA logos here, which is a little confusing to me.

  • Is this a space six thing?

  • More important to me, though, on this beautiful wall of HD images, live stream from the surface of Mars on the bottom.

  • Right hand corner is a picture of earth, and I zoomed into that picture of earth, and there's a little caption and it says Great Pacific plastic patch look Ocean Plastic is a big deal, but not like a word that's going to keep an eye on it from Mars.

  • Mission Control.

  • Big deal number seven.

  • Beautiful shot of the water number 7.5.

  • Same shot.

  • But now in an Internet news site.

  • Other articles from this site something about the Super Bowl.

  • Something about plastic waste, optimism about climate change and sparkling water is all the rage on Wall Street.

  • Was this just for me?

  • Who else looked at?

  • This is my biggest problem with this new site.

  • Is this water on Maar?

  • Thou not just being insufferable here.

  • I hear it all the time.

  • People are like excited to maybe find water on Mars.

  • There is a lot of water on Mars, and we've known this for decades.

  • If all the water on Mars right now was melted, there would be oceans on Mars.

  • And also, you know, from the Curiosity Rover that there once were, Oceans on Mars generate.

  • Billy and I get that money, son.

  • Also, I have a bigger rock on your desk in a microscope, facing the wrong way in calculations for gravitation over a distance on your Blackmore number nine.

  • This young woman is Elissa Carson, who is a science communicator and space enthusiasts.

  • So that's cool.

  • Also, here we get to see that somehow we named our Mars mission after a Roman emperor who was known largely for debauchery and incompetence.

  • Why did we do that?

  • I don't know.

  • Subtle.

  • Dig it.

  • The current leadership number 10 refers shot.

  • Who are these people?

  • We have not seen them before.

  • Also, this is the shower.

  • We hear the tell tale sound of the Sodastream 11.

  • Close upon confident woman 12.

  • Close upon Competent Man 13 and 14.

  • Close up on Sodastream.

  • 15.

  • Mid shot of incompetent man.

  • 16.

  • He's really enjoying his beverage.

  • I actually asked on Twitter, and somebody knew that this thing is a mass 100 anti microbiological air samplers.

  • So, like that's a real science thing.

  • Shot Number 17.

  • She looks very worried, but this is not the face of a woman whose only Mars water sample has been destroyed in the face of a woman who realizes that her colleague is about to die of per chlorate poisoning.

  • His thyroid is shutting down right now.

  • Mark, it was never safe to go to Mars.

  • But we didn't think you'd go out like this.

  • Sodastream, get busy with the fizzy John.

  • I'll see you on Tuesday.

Good morning, John.
