in the summer of 1984

you all know i was a rocket scientist, right? yup, seven years of education in aeronautics and astronautics, and 17 years working in aerospace research. so, it will come as no surprise to you that after i made this composition of maple leaves from the same tree…while i was editing it, only then did i realize that i had made the NASA logo. when i pointed it out to steve he simply replied “it was somewhere deep inside you.” you never know where your inspiration will come from. this one came from a summer internship at NASA Glenn in the summer of 1984.
