NASA's New 'Exploration' Insignia

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-on-sunday-are-logos-news dept.

colonist writes "NASA has a new insignia for the program set by the Vision for Space Exploration. This UPI article describes it: "Three spheres--Earth, the moon and Mars--are arrayed in sequence, with the streak of a rocket passing through each. A Latin inscription on the emblem says 'Audentes Fortuna Juvat,' which, translated into English, says 'Fortune Favors the Bold.'" Compare it with other space mission insignia."

    Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

    (Anything said in Latin sounds profound.)
