Cool!

I did note that everybody in their control room is wearing identical grey polos... guess somebody really doesn't want a repeat of the shirt incident.

Let me save everyone else a google query: http://nypost.com/2014/11/17/the-outrage-machine-insande-ado...

That shirt is 80s AF \m/ I can see how it might not fly at work though, at least not on a big PR day.

"Over the last few days, we have learned that mankind can chase down a comet speeding through space at 34,000 mph, but resisting the outrage machine, kicked into high gear over a trifle, is completely beyond its powers."
Wow, just noticed that NYP is some sort of hardcore Trump fan vent hole. My apologies. I can't believe they have the nerve to call the shirt "tasteless", though!
It's been a traditional at JPL (and other NASA centers) to wear matching polos for quite some time now, at least years, before the Rosetta landing. Not saying that NASA is better than ESA as far as women or PR goes, but this wasn't a reactionary move.
Shirt diversity is at an all time low.
