Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch - Welcome Wood Wall Art

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch - Welcome Wood Wall Art

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 starry background. Text reading, "WELCOME" also appears. There is also a place for you to add a bit of your own text. I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know 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.

I am especially impressed with the hanging and display setup that these come with. You can easily hang them vertically or horizontally on the wall (with included screws & wall anchors), using the nail guides on the back side of the wood piece. Or, you can display your art on a shelf using the simple easel stand that comes with each wood print that you order. The sturdy birchwood is the perfect canvas for intricate and sharp designs with an abundance of text (and looks great with printed photographs too!). Even with a fully printed background, you are still able to see the texture and pattern of the wood peeking through the design. Rather than printing white ink in the design, the natural colors of the wood shine through, giving it such a unique look!

High quality product. Wood is heavy duty and easy to hang. Slight damage along the edge from shipping but it is not noticeable. Product meets expectations. Highly recommend. Image is in high resolution. Colors look exactly like the example photo on the website. I love being able to see the wood grain through the photo. Very unique and beautiful!
