There are specific prohibitions and requirements associated with the use of NASA-related images (including those of NASA employees) for commercial purposes and/or anything that appears to be endorsement of, or participation in, an outside commercial activity that have to be satisfied. I don't mean to be a buzzkill on this, but it is better that you hear it from us now than later on from some NASA lawyer that does not know about FIRST.

Thanks Dave. Ill have to look into this all before anything happens. I don't want FIRST to get a bad rap or myself to get sued by NASA.
