Latest NASA mission - nod to Transformers?

[griffin]

The Delta 4 Rocket that launched from Florid on the 16th, has an interesting mission patch (http://spaceflightnow.com/delta/d355/status.html).
Each NASA mission has a unique mission patch designed, and this one is very Autobot in appearance... possibly a tip of the hat to the Transformers team who were filming there last year.
Or Bay's crew left some subliminal messages in the consciousness of the NASA team... :p

(or it's a secret Autobot mission...)

Imagine how cool that would be to have on an official uniform.

I can and I think that it is so cool that those at NASA have taken to 'nodding' in such a manner. ;):)

Just wish theyd fix that rocket at the bottom part of the sigil shaped like the autobot logo. It's like the autologo only it's sucking on a tampon heheehhe:p but, yeah it's a cool thing what NASA did...... tampon:p

KO! KO! NASA is ripping off intellectual property! *gets pitch forks & torches*

Just kidding, that's a nice nod to the franchise.
