JUST BEAUTIFUL!

I cannot gush enough praise onto this design! The thick lines and minimalist motif make for a lovely eye-catching ornament for the desk, ofrenda, etc.

Why?

I grew up with that Space Shuttle in my dreams. When they retired the thing, a wave of sadness overtook the DDC factory floor. Every 18 months, I’d tune in to see the latest crew, their patches, countdowns, missions specifics, etc. I miss that. America needs another shuttle for the generation to believe in! Growing up, be it through LEGO sets, Halloween costumes or on my grade school Trapper Keepers, I always had our beloved shuttle on the radar.

Hell, I’ll never forget watching the Challenger explode in 1986. The whole class tuned in that day, and I’m betting you did too. I think about Christa McAuliffe’s students, and her family. So much anticipation, excitement, and ultimately, tragedy. I’ll never forget the smiles on the crew the day before, on that grainy newscast. Thank you for your bravery, Challenger crew.

So we made a little graphic for that shuttle we loved so much. And how said vector came to be is a bit bittersweet. Someone sent me a link to a NASA-sponsored “design a patch” contest that had come and gone, and they had settled on some turd of a patch. So posthumously, I threw my hat in the ring, and that’s what you are seeing here. We offer up our tribute to our beloved American Space Shuttle Program.  I hope you dig it.

Each piece is printed on 3/4” thick optical-grade acrylic with vibrant UV cured inks and measures 4 1/2" x 6"
