So did anyone else catch that glimpse of a Teaser Ad towards the end of the latest Tv series "Jeckyl and Hyde"?

I know what I'm hoping it was...but it can't be? can it? if it is then way to go Lunar Mission One :-)

I'm probably getting over excited over nothing but if LM1 has managed to pair up with John Lewis's to help promote what
could well be the Christmas Present of choice available from their stores then perhaps someone high up at LM1 has been taking notice and got in contact with them to create something a bit special.

Or is it simply JL just teasing their latest Christmas Tv Ad campaign? but what's it all about?
It sure was short at approx. 10 seconds long but I kinda liked it, simple but teasing, a shot of the sky with an out of focus Moon coming into focus
with something lighting up from the Moon...LM1 perhaps? I really hope do hope so, if so then this Christmas could be truly exciting.

Have LM's been keeping this secret from us? or am I just hoping?
Type in #OnTheMoon in the search engine and you should find this teaser ad...is it connected to our mission? well it got me thinking it might when I
saw it tonight....Here's Hoping.

Well it wasn't :)

Deep down I think i knew it was for the new John Lewis Christmas Ad for 2015.

And what a beauty, of course touching once again.

I can't imagine one single Luminaut here not LOVING this and had Lunar Missions made a Christmas Tv Ad I'd like to think it would have been something very similar to this.

Delightful...Truly Delightful...and I believe it helps AGE CONCERN so good on ya John Lewis.
Maybe one day we might get a LM-1 Ad ourselves?

I do find it strange that I've been banging on about a Christmas Tv Ad campaign for Lunar Mission One and then this shows up...STRANGE but it brought a smile to my face.

If you'd like to see this wonderful feel good and endearing XMAS Ad here it is...

Go on admit it...there was a tear right?

WONDERFUL

John Lewis's Christmas Ads are often better than the Tv shows/series & films we get and this for me is their BEST so far.

It is a very good advert...cost £7 million apparantly! A bit beyond LM1's budget I think.

Paul, do you feel that the recent Lunar Mission Trust letter by David Iron has made you feel better about the progress of the mission?

Hi Darryl, yes your right about the 7m pounds but as I understand it this is for the whole Ad campaign package.

I believe it cost around 1 million to actually make/create this wonderfully touching Tv Ad but the rest is for advertising throughout the whole of the festive season.

I know approx. one year ago we added was it 750,000 pounds? by way of the Kickstarter fund (i'd hope it was far more one year on? but who knows?) and I still think a smaller scaled down version Xmas Tv Advertising campaign could be achieved, albeit a less expensively made Ad (as we've discussed in the past) the problem is those Tv Ad Spots.

Obviously JL have good money and can get the good spots at peak times on peak channels for example ITV or C4 after GoggleBox but there are other less expensive channels such as ITV's 2,3 and 4 etc that perhaps we could reach out for?

I understand (but I'm not sure if this it correct?) that a 20-30 second Tv Ad can cost as little as a few thousand pounds on certain channels (£5,000 for one tv slot...of course you'd need more, possibly 3 or 4 per day and for at least 5-7 days to get good awareness?)

Will it ever come about? I have no idea, I'm perfectly fine if it never happens just so long as the funding is achieved and we launch in 2024 :-)
I just thought going this route might actually achieve our funding goal quicker and might get people talking about what a great Christmas gift this would make.

As for that Lunar Mission Trust Letter...well I've checked my e-mail and I've not yet received it or read it...was it encouraging Darryl?

The letter wasn't sent as an email, it's on the main page- the most recent update.
