T-shirt for space geeks.
I saw this on Emily's blog on the Planetary Society's web site - she always finds all the coolest stuff! It's a t-shirt with 23 robotic and human space exploration missions. I just had to have one, so my order is in and the shirt is on it's way.
A true Space Geek would be able to identify each mission from looking at the silhouettes. I think I can get about half of them. But, I'm having trouble distinguishing between Pioneers and Voyagers, and the "boxes with solar wings" designs have me stumped without resorting to cheating.
I added another link to the solution if you can't name them all. I think the boxes are mostly Mars spacecraft. I'll have to cheat myself to check my geek factor! (I'm pretty high on the score though). :-) Tom
