Promotion and Packaging
A music video was produced for the single, directed by Adam Bernstein. It premiered on MTV's 120 Minutes in February, 1992. The video features John Linnell and John Flansburgh among various space-themed sculptures and fully suited astronauts at the Sepulveda Dam. At certain points, the video depicts John Linnell's head over a red silhouette of flames. A second version of the video, which does not show the flames, was also produced, because, according to Flansburgh, flames are not allowed to be shown on British television.
Like Apollo 18, the single's art largely features photography from the NASA archives.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
