The
emblem, which was shared with collectSPACE.com, was designed by the
captain of the modified Boeing 747 jumbo jet that will fly Discovery to
Washington, D.C. next week. It will also serve as the official insignia
for the similar deliveries of orbiters Enterprise and Endeavour later
this month and year, respectively.
"We do have a crew patch for this series of missions,"
Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) chief pilot Jeff Moultrie told
collectSPACE. "There's an approved NASA patch that we are going to be
using for all three shuttle ferries."

Browsing the Net looking for a present for my wife for our wedding anniversary (which I nearly forgot), I came by chance upon this fantastic site called wahooart.com, based probably in Paris. Talk about the Louvre having a big collection of priceless masterpieces, this site has just about everything in Western art, but as digital files.
ReplyDeleteWhat they do is to make good reproduction prints from your choice of work from their archive. I know that the prints are good because I ordered online, a print that was on canvas, like a painting. I specified the size and even chose a frame at their site.
A bit awkward when the gift was delivered early to my door, luckily while my wife was not home. What did I choose? This glorious nude by the German artist George Grosz: http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LHV5V and it's hanging gloriously large above our bed head now. Risqué? Sure. But my wife and I love it.
