Bye bye Space Shuttle

Washington Post Shuttle's last mission.

Las week I published what could be my vey last Space Shuttle infographic. As a space exploration enthusiast and a professional visual artist, NASA's spacecraft will be sorely missed. Over the years, the Shuttle was the focal point in many of  the most fun projects I've been involved, directly or indirectly.

Still fresh in my memory is this piece created in 2005 for the first Shuttle mission after the Columbia disaster. It was the first time I was commissioned to create a complex 3d model and the that effort taught me most of the tricks I still use in my daily work to this day. 

So, farewell Space Shuttle and lets hope that your replacement arrives soon.
