I maybe a bit off topic, but regarding the extinct airline company, PANAMERICAN.

The motto of that now deceased American airline was, "The sky's the limit."
Of course, in the movie, 2001, they paraphrased that for the fictional PANAMERICAN
spaceliner seen after that part in the movie about the apemen.
I think the retired astronaut, Frank Borman, was PANAM's last CEO.
I wonder if he's at fault for its bankrupcy, or did he prolong the company?
Just curious.
