How often do you see NASA in the wild?

Just saw two guys wearing NASA t-shirts.

NASA t-shirts, hats, etc, appear all around the world. Anyone else notice this?

I don't see a lot. I do however, contribute. I have both a NASA t-shirt (part of the sales price I received when selling my G2 X33 to a gent working for NASA), and a NASA ball cap.

I know they aren't legitimate employee garb, but I still like them 😀

We also have a couple NASA t-shirts and hats that we occasionally wear out and about.

Guilty, I'm also a contributor, this was what I was wearing when I collected my A11 50SS:

Later added these:

I still have this jacket from C.F.B. Cold Lake with Dibs from Fredmaycoin.

Maybe it's you fellas I've been seeing 😁

I personally own four, maybe five.. probably six? NASA t-shirts and I see one almost every time I go out here in the Pacific Northwest. Seems to be a popular thing to support and I don't see that going away anytime soon.

The NASA worm and meatball logos are truly iconic pieces of 20th century graphic design. When even Urban Outfitters sells NASA branded gear (not sure if they still do, they certainly used to), I suspect that for many wearers it's an expression of style more so than a deep awareness /appreciation of NASA's history and mission

I definitely have a few things I've collected over the years. Mostly old mission tees from space shuttle days.
I have some of the "modern" stuff, because companies like Target, Old Navy, H&M and the such, sell NASA branded swag.

Got some NASA stuff on a recent job I done with them in Northern Australia 😗

I see a fair bit of NASA gear on students at the university where I work. Most are physics and astronomy majors.

Not « in the wild » but rather « on my shelf ». A bunch of space shuttle press kits from the early 90s.

They each contain « Groundtrack Charts » that are essentially World maps of various sizes. I plan on getting cheap frames for one or two.

Saw some NASA Federal Credit Union documents at my dad's apartment this weekend. Turns out he opened an account when he worked there in the mid-'60s. It was a bit different then seeing someone wearing a NASA t-shirt or baseball hat.

But imagine the recruitment potential, Go deeper into space with our ARSE.

You just need a degree in proctology to go into deep space.

Well, If you're seriously looking for rectal potential or deep impact you might want to take a seat in this.

Originating from the collection of space memorabilia collector Charles Bell a genuine Apollo era NASA anal probe chair.

I'm not sure how deep the history of this chair penetrates, but if this chair could talk, I'm not sure even I would want to hear what savage dark history it has to say.

Patina! Another treasure from the space program. And people thought the only benefits were Tang and Velcro.

To quote John Glenn regarding these medical procedures, "’If you figure how many openings there are on the human body and how far you can go into any one of them… you answer, which would be the toughest for you?”
