Here at EE, we like science. Specifically, we really like space. I grew up wanting to work for NASA (I even studied astrophysics at university) but life has a funny way of working out and I found myself making jewellery instead. In light of this, it's probably not a surprise that I found a way of mixing the two - space jewellery!
Now, the shuttle programme in particular always captured my imagination. It began in 1981 and came to an end last year after 30 years of glorious highs and heartbreaking lows. No one can deny the magnitude of the achievements made by the shuttle programme - the Hubble and International Space Station? Yeah, the shuttles did that. Just another day at work for the shuttle peeps. I was lucky enough to go visit the Kennedy Space Center in 2009 to watch the Endeavour launch only they brought the launch forward by one day. The day we flew in. We had a really awesome view of the launch pad as our plane came into Orlando International, so it was A MASSIVE SHAME that the shuttle had left 3 hours previously.
It's taken a few years, but I'm gradually getting over it.
So - space jewellery! Here it is:
