Unless it’s an announcement that all UA flights will now take four days in each direction and end with a water landing...

Based on all of the space puns in their replies I'm guessing it has something to do with physical space onboard.
Among other possibilities
- Lieflat domestic F or domestic PY
- Something "More Room Throughout Coach"-esque
- Bigger overhead bins
Or they could go the lame-esque route with a space-themed movie livery.
Or an Apollo-themed safety video.

You actually made me laugh out loud! And yet, I think I'd be OK with that ...
When I was a kid, there was a hot dog cart nearby (think NYC style dirty water dogs, but on the civilized side of the Hudson River) - who had GREAT hot dogs.... and the only drink available was orange drink. Wanted a Coke, you got "orange drink". Ordered a water, "orange drink". Root beer? Orange drink.
Not sure what exactly that orange drink was, or where he got it, but just seeing Tang makes me reminisce about it. And now I'm thirsty.
Wow -- just did a quick Google search and it looks like the cart's still there! Guess I know where I'm going for lunch tomorrow ......
