The Japanese -- with a technical assist from Russia -- will become the first nation to film a TV commercial completely from space. You'd think that for such an occasion they'd shoot a spot for something like saving the planet, but no, it's merely for a sports drink that goes by the rather unappealing name Pocari Sweat. The commercial will feature a Russian cosmonaut picking up a floating bottle of Sweat and drinking it while looking down on Earth from the International Space Station. Let's hope he's inside the station when he does that.
