I mean, unless NASA is having partical accelleration races in their supercolliders then there is really no place for these moronic mascots. Another step down the path set by that stupid olympic IT mascot. Maybe they are just affraid that making a mascot out of something from reality would offend someone...
Well, up until rectnly my organizations logo was a punched card with an isotope whirling around it. It was embarrassing.
