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.

My main concern when I searched online for custom clip board manufacturers was will the finished be sturdy enough to deal with my work environment. I was also concerned about the finish on the edges. Would they be sharp and unfinished. I've seen some other custom clip boards where the edges of the board looked rough and unfinished. Or the edges where sharp and dangerous to touch. This clip board checks all of those boxes. The image on the board matched the image that was created for it.
