Another year, another round of discussions on how to solve NASA's perpetual budget woes. There are a lot of ideas floating around, but here's one we've never heard before: a lobbyist thinks we can pay for future NASA missions with advertising on the sides of spacecrafts, NASCAR-style.

The result is a gorgeous view of the future.
