This image is terrible, looking like a child's drawing. This is the best the editors can come up with for spaceflight? My god, just browse through the articles in the category, and crop one of them. -66.41.19.44 (talk) 19:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the creators of the portal used this image just because it looks simple and naive. Space flight is a topic full of complicated and dry matter such as escape velocities, semimajor axes, data transmitting systems and nuclear propulsion devises. Perhaps a lot of people are in need for an icon that makes them smile. Steinbach (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC) This is not to say, of course, that space flight is boring, on the contrary, I find it fascinating!

I don't suppose it's notable that the Galactic Empire of the famous Foundation series by Isaac Asimov is described as having a "spaceship and sun" insignia? I imagine that was the inspiration for this sketch ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.30.130.62 (talk) 00:59, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
