Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Clipboard

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Clipboard

A humourous 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.

Turned out as expected. Love using this daily in my practice and what's better is that my colleagues don't walk off with my clipboard anymore. Looks as expected. Turned out well.

Although the product was expensive, we customized it entirely and it looked exactly as planned/advertised. The products looks like it is made of pretty good material. The product arrived within 4 business days of ordering and allowed a feature to track the package. If you are wondering, it has a plastic front that looks like a front of a whiteboard marker but does not function as a whiteboard because whiteboard marker does not erase. The colours were as expected and the images printed well.
