Apollo insignias

We visited the NASA Space Center in Houston. Surprisingly, I found it more nostalgic than futuristic. Maybe it's because with the space shuttle program winding down, there is no clear goal for future missions. Maybe it's because NASA has never been able to exceed the excitement of the Apollo program that put two men on the moon in six different missions.

I actually think it's the artwork. It's very distinct with references to Greek mythology, explorer sailing ships and American symbols. The icons of the Apollo missions are for ever engraved in my memory.

NASA continued to produce great logos for subsequent programs following Apollo. I wish someone would produce a coffee table book with all NASA artwork.
