Paul's Notes:

• The word Fortibraccia doesn't exist, but translates as 'strong arm' which makes a nice name that sounds pretty good in Italian. :)
• The copywriter has probably misconstrued the Space Travel (Pak) as being the name of the space sled.
  

John's Notes:

There's that weird phased Earth again. Also, I don't believe the overall size of the moon would change as much as the ads make it appear.
