Space Shuttle Tragedy--Team tribute (please read)
 
In wake of this terrible tragedy happening as we speak, I feel like there is somthing that we, as a large science community, should do. Last year, after 9/11, many teams showed their respect for our nation and those who died by putting images of flags on their robots and team uniforms.

How awesome would it be if we could get every team this year to incorporate some sort of NASA or space shuttle logo into their robot or team shirt? It would give us a way to remember what happened and to show respect.

Please think about this and feel free to put up other suggestions, i just think that we need to do somthing.

it would be cool if we made little ribbons that we could hand out at competitions to pin to your shirt. Then everyone could show their respects at the same time. It would be cool to get at least one team per regional to do this, then it would be a FISRT wide tribute.

I don't think it is appropriate to post NASA logos, for the simple reason of sponsorship.
However, it would be great if a graphics designer could come up with an image that said something like "RIP Columbia Crew", and everyone could print it out on sticky paper and affix it to their robot.

space shuttle tragdey
 
I agree as FIRST Teams we should band together and do something. Although NASA doesn't specifially sponsor all teams they do sponsor and support FIRST in a tremendous way and I believe with that in mind, showing the NASA logo on our robots and or in our pits would be similar to displaying the FIRST logo.

Team 316, LuNaTeCs will do whatever is decided upon to do at both the Chesapeake and Philly Regionals.

I think that's a great idea.

Here's the image, if you need it:

Can somebody with graphics talent make this into some sort of logo that can be distributed to all the teams to place on their robot? Some little thing like "always in our hearts" or something? Not anything too sappy happy, but just something nice.

team 967
 
As a part of Team 967 I am going to push to place the shuttle mission patch on the robot or even our shirts. It's a awsome tribute to the crew of the shuttle and would really be awsome if every team could do something similer.

Every body think of the families and friends of the Columbia

Just a note, it was an International flight, so the American flag is not quite right... I suppose you would need both the American and Israeli flag to be completly accurate.

This is creepy our team was ready to put the American flag up on our robot. We agreed upon it yesterday. Now we need a Isralei flag and a space shuttle logo on it also.

DanL 01-02-2003 17:40

About all the American Flags.... keep in mind there WAS an Israeli astronaut up there with our boys.

The future of space exploration is going to be an international effort. Although this was an American tragedy, I think the impacts will be felt by all nations working together on space exploration (a la International Space Station). So I guess my point is (although put rather bluntly) this: less post-9-11 bandwagon patriotism, and more thinking of this as an international tragedy.
