I didn’t get their Duran Duran one until I realized they were referencing Barbarella.

You’d think someone would know better than to give some of them red shirts.

these are incredible, you’d think the press would pick up on them

hard to believe something this great came of government and hope the power-that-be don’t tamper with it (like they try to kill the post office)

It’s okay, the engineers always make it; red shirt or no red shirt.

The source material for most of these is still more diverse than reality. :thinking:

I wonder if for the Star Trek one someone asked about sizes to get the uniforms made but the team all said: No problem I have my own at home.

Cool? Fun, maybe but not cool. I kept expecting them to get better as I scrolled down but it never happened. I’m actually surprised they share them.

They also had the good sense to hire Randall Munro.

Someone hail the copyright attorneys on the com.

The gov funding threat has been out there for awhile… so NASA economized many weeks ago… just in case.

Hey, I’m all for it if it gets us to Europa (a robot anyway)… at this point they could use a gofundme page… some good photoshops would help with the fundraising :slight_smile:

Visited the Huntsville facility about a month ago, can confirm the presence of several of these posters.

Why they don’t just call Huntsville “Saturn” facility escapes me. Also, Space Camp was in session. [Kinda still want to do that. Yes, yes, I am a total space nerd. So what?]

They’re embarrassed for them, since they can’t get to space on their own anymore unless they Blanche Dubois with the Russians, and Drumpf gave away their space station. Their circumstances have been greatly reduced.
