About This Design

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch T-Shirt

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch T-Shirt

A humourous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1," with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. 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.

Thought the design was cute. After one wash with cold water on medium dry the decal flaked off and the shirt looks ornate. The tag says heavy duty cotton but the shirt doesn’t hold up. I would like a refund or my shirt remade. Horrible printing! Sadly the design did not stay on! Please refund me as for this price getting an unusable shirt is very disappointing.
