Super space knob
Space, 1969
Is there a more apt shape for the journey undertaken by man’s mighty space probe?
Is there a deliberate symbolism here, to be read by alien species and understood as a statement of our virile intergalactic intentions? Perhaps it’s just like when you draw knobs in the dark light with sparklers on bonfire night, but on a grander canvas.
Either way, NASA, I salute you. You’ve drawn a massive knob in space.
