Недавно NASA вернуло 80-е — агентство возродило свой культовый логотип того времени ради первого пилотируемого полёта корабля SpaceX. Разобрались, как символ приобрёл такое значение и почему переживает второе рождение.

Оказывается, за ним стоит целая история — логотип стал символом эпохи, но внутри NASA его не очень любили, поэтому отправили в «отставку» в 1992 году. Но «червь» не умер, а переродился: он стал популярен в массовой культуре и брендированной одежде, а в последние годы пользуется особым спросом на фоне ностальгии по 80-м.
