Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Flip Flops

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Flip Flops

A humourous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1," with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. Features the Spudnik-1 mission patch superimposed on a background image resembling spacecraft hull plates. Add your own text. I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know it it is somewhere in flyover territory, but can not place it any better - "Isn't that somewhere near Nebraska?" Mostly, people just think it is a backward place. Not true! Idaho has a space program and placed a satellite in orbit. The scientists and engineers at the Idaho Space Authority dubbed it the Idaho Geosynchronous Agriculture and Forest Fire Observation Tuber, or IGAFFOT for short. IGAFFOT does not exactly roll off the tongue so the governor sponsored a satellite naming contest among the state's elementary school students. There were a number of suggestion including Tater Tot, but almost 99 percent of the students suggested Spudnik; and so it was. During a television interview the director of the Idaho Space Authority explained that potatoes make wonderful observation platforms as they can be mass-produced locally and generally have several eyes. In addition, when the orbit decays the tuber is re-entry baked by friction with the atmosphere. All you need if you find one of these satellites after it comes down is butter, salt and pepper; with maybe a bit of sour cream.

This item was perfect and exactly as described. Arrived in a beautiful gift bag which made it extra special. The colours and the image quality were brilliant and turned out exactly as on the website and expected. Thank you so much. They arrived before I expected too so I was able to give them to my friend the day before she went on holiday.

Received these yesterday and as the sun was shining I couldn't wait to get them on! They are very comfortable. I'm a size 5 so I would order the next size up next time but they are fine. The Blue Lagoon design is vibrant and I am thrilled. I've already packed them ready for my Summer Holiday abroad. I've ordered the matching t-shirt so I can't wait for that to arrive. The printing is really high quality. It literally is a work of art on flip flops! Fabulous.
