For my part, I applaud the NASA ad. All the resources used were already legitimately in place without further expenditure beyond a few minutes of their time. There was no "massive waste of taxpayer dollars." The reward is increased faith in science among people who might be persuaded otherwise, especially important demographics like impressionable youth and people who provide the all important donations and political backing. But to get technical, the comment about being faster because of orbital speed is missing the relevant frame of reference. If they claim 17,500 mph around the Earth is faster, they have to allow that the Earth is in solar orbit at a substantially greater speed, about 67,000 mph. So they are going 17.5k faster, AND slower, every 45 minutes as they go with and then directly against Earth's solar orbital speed.
