\"Nasa-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week I’m a bit obsessed with NASA, in particular with things designed to be used in space. Its kind of the holy grail of design to me. And surfing for NASA pictures is really rewarding because the images often come in huge resolutions. Here’s some of the fantastic links I’ve found so far.<\/p>\n

Michael Soluri<\/a> – This is the guy who created the amazing photographs of NASA’s custom tools<\/a> that were designed to be used on the space shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. He’s also done great portraits of NASA personnel.<\/p>\n

NASA Tool Hack – Even when you’ve spent millions on custom tools for every conceivable need up in space, you’re bound to run into a situation that you haven’t prepared for. Here’s a great NASA tool hack<\/a> for use on a Space Walk at Space Shuttle Discovery. Astronauts are DIYers too!<\/p>\n

Vintage NASA Facility Photographs<\/a> – Over at brainpickings.com they have put together a bunch of beautiful photographs from NASA’s image archives.<\/p>\n

Apollo Geology Tool Catalog<\/a> – a catalog with images of all the tools used on Apollo lunar Missions – from hammers to collection bags to tool racks. My favorite is the sample collection container<\/a> – basically the baddest Pelican case<\/a> ever made. I love this so much I’m going to have to post a pic of this in a separate post….<\/p>\n

Apollo 11 Objects<\/a> – The Smithsonian Museum has this fantastic page with images of tons of awesome Apollo 11 stuff …. space food<\/a>, spotmeter<\/a>, pressure suits<\/a>, penlights<\/a>, radiation meter<\/a> …. what fun.<\/p>\n
