This is something I made last November or thereabouts whilst I was working on an exhibition called Flyer. This part of it was never shown, it is a NASA image of the UK and Ireland.
The image comes from here:
Here the important part of the image, for NASA, is the equation of the space shuttle Endeavour with HMS Bark Endeavour in which my ancestor Captain Cook sailed to Terra Australis Incognita.
Incidentally the space shuttle Endeavour was named in a competition won by students at Tallulah Falls High School, and its first launch was embarrassingly advertised by a sign that spelled it Endeavor, because NASA staff hadn't realized the reason for the English spelling.
Sorry, realised.
