Dude I know how that goes, I drop by HH every so often to see how it's doing.

A thoughtful meditation on just how much "Gentlemen Love Light Swords"

This is a for real real NASA mission poster:



More movie poster-style NASA expeditions here.

Awesome, but I am reminded of the Simpsons episode where they tried to make space missions more relevant to the average American. But then, most things remind me of a Simpsons episode.

[livius drusus]

Well, of course. Deep Space Homer is one of the greatest all time episodes, featuring the debut of the "I, for one, welcome our x overlords" meme, the super-intelligent chimps on rollerskates running NASA, Homer demanding that Bill Clinton tell him where he can find some Tang, Buzz Aldrin -- if that's his real name -- and last but certainly not least, the inanimate carbon rod.

[Deadlokd]

Ah yes, so much win. Pity they used it all up.

[Ensign Steve]

Not to take away from the awesome (because how would that even be possible?) but I think the target audience for that poster was probably already on board, figuratively, with NASA to begin with. I know I was.

[Ensign Steve]

My god, are those real NASA astronauts dressed up in Starfleet uniforms? I'm about to die from the awesome.

[Ensign Steve]

OMG, it's not just Trek!!

[livius drusus]

Yes! Thanks for catching up with the full awesome.

[The Lone Ranger]

I think this poster is even funnier:

Regarding the first: wouldn't you think that NASA people would know better than to mix Next Generation-era uniforms and a silhouette of the NX-01 version of the Enterprise? Even I noticed the discontinuity immediately, and I never watched Enterprise.


Cheers,

Where's the Enterprise silhouette? The one behind the emblem is the Space Shuttle on account of it's a Shuttle mission being posterized. Or are you making a joke that I didn't get 'cause I'm ? Probably the latter.

[Deadlokd]

It's on the first poster you linked to.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Regarding the first poster: I should have included that word.

The first poster clearly shows a silhouette of the NX-01, despite the fact that the astronauts are wearing Next-Generation-era uniforms.


Cheers,

Michael

NASA people may or may not be Star Tracks nerds, but i bet the ad agency peopel that probably designed that poster are not.

[livius drusus]

I wouldn't be too sure that's ad agency work. It's not exactly top-notch graphics.

What TLR and others have failed to recognize is that Expedition XXI is a NASA mission in which the space shuttle will slingshot around the moon.

As such, chronal displacement is to be expected.

[BrotherMan]

omg, nerds.

[Ymir's blood]

lol @ the star tracks.

I ran across this one this morning. I like how Judas was left as is...

[livius drusus]

That's not Judas. Newton is in Judas' place. I'm not sure who the dude on the right is supposed to be, but he's not in the original.
