Making It Into Space! In September 1996 Matt and I traveled to the Manned Space Flight Centre in Huntsville Alabama to help celebrate: Star Trek 30: A Weekend on Earth. We met Joel Williamson the senior ISS design engineer who purchased a Deep Space Nine poster, he shared that the ISS team collectively loved the show and that the poster would ultimately be bound for the station in 1997. It was a nice thought at the time but with delays in the construction missions I quickly forgot about it... Twenty two years later Matt reconnected with Joel while working on another project and learned that indeed my DS9 poster had made the trip into space! It was launched on May 19th 2000 aboard the shuttle Atlantis/ STS 101 an ISS construction flight! The poster returned 10 days later and hangs in the ISS program office! This amazing experience has shown me that there is no limit how far and high you can go! #celebrity #spacetravel #collectibles #design #illustration #honor
