The red, white and blue logo is NASA's oldest official identifier, even predating the agency's formal seal.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-071524a-nasa-insignia-logo-meatball-65-years.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-071524a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Maybe we can use this topic to share some of our favorite "meatballs" from our collections.
