Cool outer space toys, rhyming copy ("He lives on the moon, we'll all be there soon ..."), and a slightly homoerotic subtext (that Sgt. Storm in his red uniform is a charmer, I tell you)—they're all part of this 1968 commercial for the Major Matt Mason product line. Major Matt's got his jet pack ... um, wish I had a rhyming dictionary.
