Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Bandana
A humorous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1," with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. Features the Spudnik-1 mission patch superimposed on a starfield background. I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know it it is somewhere in flyover territory, but can not place it any better - "Isn't that somewhere near Nebraska?" Mostly, people just think it is a backward place. Not true! Idaho has a space program and placed a satellite in orbit. The scientists and engineers at the Idaho Space Authority dubbed it the Idaho Geosynchronous Agriculture and Forest Fire Observation Tuber, or IGAFFOT for short. IGAFFOT does not exactly roll off the tongue so the governor sponsored a satellite naming contest among the state's elementary school students. There were a number of suggestion including Tater Tot, but almost 99 percent of the students suggested Spudnik; and so it was. During a television interview the director of the Idaho Space Authority explained that potatoes make wonderful observation platforms as they can be mass-produced locally and generally have several eyes. In addition, when the orbit decays the tuber is re-entry baked by friction with the atmosphere. All you need if you find one of these satellites after it comes down is butter, salt and pepper; with maybe a bit of sour cream.

The bandana itself is very durable. It stands washing cycles very well. Also the bandana is quite warm when worn around the neck. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the material and the quality of the product. The design is excellent quality. Printed exactly as it is shown online with crisp lines and great detail. I was a little surprised when the bandana colors came out slightly darker than what was shown but taking into account the dye sublimation printing process and type of material I'm not disappointed. I'm very satisfied with the printed results.

These Bandana's are awesome! I ordered one for myself awhile back and then again recently as a gift for an artist that sells on etsy that I am very inspired by! Mallory loves it and that makes me so happy! These bandana's work great to be worn and used as room decoration hung on the walls or even for display use for other products! The coloration is lovely, soft material and overall great quality! They are perfect as gifts to friends or even to yourself.
