Thanks to all of you who competed and/or voted in the PGD 2019 Button Art Competition. The winning design is the work of Samuel Cartwright. A recent Middlebury College graduate hailing from Utah, Sam is currently a post-baccalaureate intern with the CRISM instrument team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
The button celebrates the 50th anniversaries of LPSC and Apollo 11 with a design showing our blue marble as it rises above a trace of human exploration’s crowning achievement. The number of stars and points add up to 50 and there are 11 segments to the boot print’s tread.
Congratulations to Sam, and again, a thank you to all of our competitors for their fantastic and thoughtful contributions.
