...Saatchi agency to package corporate sponsorships, similar to those sold for the Olympic Games. The marketing ploy could raise an estimated $26 million to help pay for the project. During the mission, two Soviet cosmonauts and the first ever British astronaut will spend a week aboard the Mir space station. Saatchi has already designed the joint project's logo, which features a soaring goose, and has named the mission Juno, in honor of the Roman goddess of marriage...

His plan calls for the establishment of a permanent lunar base, which would serve as a way-station for an expedition to Mars, and eventually as a stepping stone for further exploration of the solar system...
