Space Camp 2010

Earlier this month, Kay and I took a long weekend with our friends Jonathan and Whitney. We ventured down to Florida to hang out on the beach and nerd out at the Kennedy Space Center...

USA! USA!

I've gotta say, the Russians certainly  got a couple things right in their space program. For starters, the term "cosmonaut" is way cooler than "astronaut"

...and they've got a great color scheme going here.


Astro-Snoopy

Great logo design for the Apollo 8 Mission


You know I'm a sucker for diagrams



Jonathan and I in front of the Astrovan



While we were in the park we were lucky enough to watch a test flight of the new Falcon IX rocket. 
Being inside the Space center, we were able to get just about as close to the launch as a civilian can get.

Take off!


Kay and I right after the launch!


Yay Space!

They had actual consoles from early NASA launches, which were really great to examine.

Astro-snoopy again


More great design work for the Apollo missions

On our last day we visited Playlinda beach, which is part of the Nature preserve in the KSC. Miles and miles of beautiful beaches. A great end to a great trip. If you ever get a chance to check out the space center, do it. It's pretty exciting.

Whitney also has a ton of photos on her Flickr.

Studio!

Kay and I have officially started renting a new studio space!

There is so much room, great natural light, and a studio cat. We'll be sharing the space with our good friend and creative powerhouse, Jen Jenkins.

We're both pretty excited to be in there and start making new work. I'll post more photos as we get things set up in the new space...
