  Space Tattoo
June 22, 1998

How comfortable do you feel knowing that a shuttle commander is sporting a tattoo of someone who's daily goal it is to take over the world? And where did she get it? Is it standard issue now? That would be cool.

Here is a note I received in response to my sci.space.shuttle post:

The bottom reads "Cranial Crusaders."  This is the logo from the STS-90
training team's shirts.  STS-90 is not the first crew to have made
temporary tattoos from their logos.  I still have one from STS-81.

If you know how I can get in touch with Commander Hire to ask her about it, drop me a note. Email: trent@skotophile.com

Note: Don't take my word for it, check out the original NASA photo.
