Description: The round red, white and blue insignia, nicknamed the "meatball," was designed by employee James Modarelli in 1959, NASA's second year. The design incorporates references to different aspects of the mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The round shape of the insignia represents a planet. The stars represent space. The red v-shaped wing represents aeronautics. The circular orbit around the agency's name represents space travel.
Description: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA /ˈnæsə/) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.[note 1] President Dwight D. Eisenhower established NASA in 1958[7] with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958.[8][9] (wikipedia)
Description: Apollo 11 history is in the news again and this design pays homage to the NASA moon missions. Based on the NASA meatball logo, it features the honored nickname "Steely Eyed Missile Man". This nickname was reserved for the best astronauts, flight controllers and flight directors. Most famously bestowed on John Aaron, who saved the Apollo 12 mission and played a large part in the Apollo 13 mission. This shirt is in honor of the Apollo lunar missions and makes a great gift for your husband, boyfriend, son, or nephew who loves spaceflight history.
