Artist's Comments
Full-size plastic model of a space probe of extraterrestrial origin. Part of an exhibit I designed for the Life in the Universe hall at the National Air And Space Museum. (The other part of the exhibit can be seen on page 199 of a book titled "The Smithsonian Experience", in a photo called "Message pod from a space creature". I'm working on getting a good photo of that to upload.) The flat red & grey disk is about two feet across, and was designed to rotate (though it was not displayed rotating).
I did all the design and construction work myself, with assistance from Jack Hawley (who was my boss at the time, so I was his assistant in his job, which was Inventor For Hire). The larger pieces were vacuformed, plug molded, or machined; many smaller ones were stamped out with a punch press and dies. It was very nice to have all the resources of Jack's electronic and mechanical prototyping shop available. I miss that. Daily DeviationGiven 2007-11-22Starprobe by *DonSimpson. This professional, interesting statue/model really caught my attention. It has beautiful design, and while immediately recognizable as a spaceship, features unique, fresh elements.

Critiquing someone's prose or poetry is an awesome thing to do.
One thing I find frustrating and bewildering is that there is basically nothing on the internet about the Life in the Universe Hall. Scientific American had an article about the paintings Bonnie Dalzell did for that show, and Spaceflight magazine gave me a rave review in their article about it, but nothing seems to have gotten on the Web.
