Mickey Mouse MESSENGER Mercury

MESSENGER is a spacecraft that's been orbiting Mercury since early 2011, sending back to Earth huge amounts of data about the tiny planet, including incredible high-resolution close-up images. It's an amazing mission...

... but I wonder what kind of Mickey Mouse outfit would put up this kind of image for display?

Well, at least I know to whom NASA can turn if the current budget cuts get through Congress.
