A while back I got an opportunity to design a commemorative pin for the 50th Anniversary of America’s first satellite - Explorer 1. After the job was done I was invited to join the dinner celebrations at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. It was an awesome night with live rover demonstrations. Also, I got to meet some of the early space pioneers as well as NASA Mission Leaders planning future unmanned expeditions to Mars and Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.
