What's Old is New Again

NASA’s red 80’s-era “worm” logo is back! Seen here on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the worm logo was originally designed by Richard Danne and introduced via the Federal Design Improvement Program in 1975. It was retired in 1992 in favor for the agency’s original 1950’s “meatball” graphic, but still used on clothing and other souvenir items. The Falcon 9 pictured above will help ferry astronauts to the International Space Station as part of SpaceX’s Demo-2 flight, now slated for mid-to-late May. (Photo: NASA)
