This last shirt is not an astronaut shirt, but supports a very important cause. It is also on sale. 25% of the sale of this tee will support the DNA Foundation's mission to end child sex slavery and human trafficking.

"Freed" is on sale for $12.50 for Guy and Girls. Limited sizes availble for girls.

Yes my lion!

This shirt is pretty neat. It's a lion astronaut, which is a twofor as far as getting a "cat" and astronaut in the mix. If you want to delve deeper, it's the evolution of the lion into an animal race capable of space exploration, which would be pretty bad ass. Lion's exploring space, eating animals from other planets. Not too different than what we humans will end up doing.

Also, if you search "lion astronaut" on Google, this is the second link you will get this:

I don't care what science says!

This shirt is great. It's definitely one of the few recent changes in modern science that actually stirred up a bit of controversy in the public.  People actually cared that Pluto was no longer considered an official planet under the 2006 guidelines set forth by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Although technically, it's one of 40 dwarf planets, or planetoids that we have in our solar system. Still, I wore this once on a Sunday funday and got quite a few reactions.

Fatstronaut

 

I like this one for a couple reasons. It's got an astronaut, it's got ice cream, it's got a fat guy chasing ice cream. Pretty simple. More so because when I ran a search for "What would happen to ice cream in a vacuum"  I found an answer. There was a post in a The Science Forum, which I might add is very aptly named. 

Here's an excerpt:

The whole thing will probably become freeze-dried ice cream/fruit beginning with the outside and working its way inward, depending on the length of exposure. The technical term is lyophilization, where everything freezes and the water sublimates. People see this in "shrunken" ice cubes in ice trays left for a long time in the freezer. The whole thing will freeze, but the lyophilized outer layer may prevent the rest from drying out. Same idea with the meat ... it will freeze-dry, and the vacuum of space will also disrupt/burst the cells. If you want these foods "cooked" to destroy harmful microbes, then few things survive lyophilization, so it should be safe.

To "revive" either, you'd need to add water, but you'll probably end up with a soup of molecular parts, which hardly sounds appetizing.

Finder's Keepers

I this one is pretty clever. Sort of self explanatory. Pretty much the way exploring works.

Rats! Space Shuttle Program Shirt

I love this shirt. It's basically a play on Calvin leading his red wagon in disappointment. Sort of syncs up with the idea of the wagon in Calvin and Hobbes as being the vehicle for adventure. And now that the shuttle program is gone, how will we reach the stars? There's the Soyuz, but without a launch and re-entry vehicle of our own, we cannot truly explore the stars as we see fit.

The Program

I love this shirt. To me it highlights exactly what NASA and the space program is ultimately all about. It's about the advancement of the entire human race as a whole. I do find it interesting that the button on the spacesuit says 1972-2011, but they're using a Mercury era spacesuit which dates around the 60s. But I'm  not the type to split hairs.
