Anyway, as this developed, those stickers came to mind... Retro-space!
Like a movie poster from the 80s, maybe... Because of course, back then, everyone thought of the year 2000 as the blazing future in which we'd all have flying cars and hover boards. Still waiting for my hoverboard!

“Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.”
-- Carl Sagan

How many of you are space fans? =) ... I'm sure you've noticed by now that I am a huge space nerd. The next big thing I'm looking forward to right now, besides Elon Musk putting people on Mars, is the launch of the James Webb telescope!
