Not NASA but Northern Sun one of my favorite places for interesting T-shirts and bumper stickers (And pins) [northernsun.com]

I don't think this is any kind of an official pin. I went to NASA's website, and couldn't find... actually, I didn't find a link to any kind of merchandise, not directly. I found 3 different stores with sites somehow associated with Ames, Johnson, and Kennedy space centers, all with a dot-com domain, which doesn't inspire confidence. Perhaps there's a store for each center. I think it's rather odd; different stores instead of a single website.

I remember a time when NASA's website was much better. It seems as though it's been reduced to consumption by... 5th graders? Or Congress? Very disappointing.

I found it - read up one... 😉

@RavenCT And at NASA? Which is what I was talking about.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. NASA page on the Artemis program (return to Earth's moon). I hate it. The entire design. It's setup like a series of blog posts... with no kind of table of contents. Not much organizing structure.

I'll also add that their "storyboard" looks like something out of a concept mission to the moon I saw in a book from the 60s.

@bingst No I meant I found the origin of the pin and it wasn't at NASA. That's just the meme....

This is as close to NASA stuff as you can get - the Gift Shop: [officialnasagear.com]

The web site doesn't appear to sell anything any longer?

@RavenCT I think that's the one I found that's associated with Johnson Space Center. I found two others associated with Ames and Kennedy. They called them exchanges, which sounds like what they do on military bases.
