Porter announced
their new destination
to Florida coast.
In the ad,
white-sand beach,
clear waters,
and a space shuttle taking off.
But shuttles
haven’t been used
since the flight of Atlantis
in 2011.
If Porter wants to lure me
with manned space missions,
a route to Kazakhstan
would be a better choice.
