Rust

Ok, so I decided to think laterally on this one! I wondered if there were any famous 'Rusty's that I could use as inspiration for my tag. Good old Google provided me with Rusty Schweickart, an Apollo 9 astronaut! Hooray! I love all things space, especially the Apollo missions. So here's my tribute to Rusty Schweickart. I drew an American flag, to official scale, so it ended up a bit big but I like it. Then I added a couple of photos. Then I tried writing some facts about Rusty on the flag, and it looked dreadful.:(
I really didn't have time to make another flag but I was able to add other photos including launch and splashdown, and more photos of Rusty trying out the life support system used on the Apollo 11 mission.
So here's my rusty themed tag!

    Brilliant _ I tried to brainstorm various takes on "rust" without success. Your interpretation inspired me.
