T O P I C R E V I E WDavidHSomeone had set up a Web site proposing a flag that would represent the idea of humanity extending into space. http://www.spaceflag.com/ Thoughts?------------------ http://allthese worlds.hatbag.net/space.php "America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow." - Commander Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Mission, 11 December 1972Cliff LentzI understand the symbolism, but it looks an awful lot like and Amish symbol. Doesn't work for me.LT Scott SchneeweisAny flag for this application doesnt seem appropriate..unless it can wave in the "solar wind", from a practicle perspective probably not an approriate medium to convey symbolism in the environment of Space...the planted U.S. flag looked great on the lunar surface but it required a not insignificant level of technical engineering to make it appear real.. ------------------Scott SchneeweisURL: http://www.spaceaholic.com/apollo_artifacts.htm (Apollo Artifacts)http://www.spaceaholic.com/us_artifacts.htm (Other US Program Artifacts)FFrenchIt would make a beautiful quilt block!!spaced outIndependent of the country they represent there are many elegant flags and some naff looking ones.IMHO this isn't an elegant one...november25Hi There-Just took a look at this- seems to me- its something the kids would like-its more [Like a KALEIDOSCOPE-image-something one twists around-to view the patterns- but hurts the eye-if you look too long.Cheers-see some of you in a month at heathrow.regards from Brenda.this was posted by november25DavidHI don't know about a flag, per se, I'm enough of a geek that I like the idea of a symbol or logo to show support for spaceflight.That said, to me this flag really doesn't convey the idea it's supposed to.------------------ http://allthese worlds.hatbag.net/space.php "America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow." - Commander Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Mission, 11 December 1972RodinaThat thing is ghastly.RMHAs Brenda noted it reminded me of a kaleidoscope as well. When I look at this flag it in no way says or represents space to me as I think a "space" flag should. There is no common symbol on the flag (such as a planet or rocket ship) that anyone looking at it would remind them of space.Rob JoynerMmmm, maybe some 3-D glasses would help.Rick MulheirnDoes nothing for me......!Regards,Rick.WehaveliftoffI hate to agree, but unity of the human race is not one of my impressions[This message has been edited by Wehaveliftoff (edited September 02, 2005).]
