Selling Out NASA, or a clever budget problem solver? You Decide
First Take A Look At The Picture On The Link Below:
Click Here then after viewing it, im sure most of you have seen it before and have had some thoughts about it. i for one am in favor of letting companies advertise on things like the shuttle or the ISS because it means that less of the government money is spend on NASA. then the budget crisis is somewhat solved and it helps both the company and NASA

Sponsorship
Considering the price of a launch, it wouldn't really help much.
And all that paint would make the stack at least half a tonne heavier.

They tried it once before, with putting the Last Action Hero ad on the main tank, the movie bombed, so advertisers being a superstitious lot don't want to try it again. Mind you, that didn't hurt Rutan selling ad space on SS1 (and the M&M's Mike Melville let out in the cockpit were product placement). Of course, this was pretty much predicted by the movie Fight Club, if you'll recall.

Edit: Oh, I just remembered a case where lots of eyeballs were exposed to a shuttle flight: the Challenger disaster, repeated endlessly on the news for day after day. Would that be a time, say, Intel would want a prominent "Intel Inside" logo burned into millions of brains?
