Kids!! Buzz Lightyear needs your help!!

NASA has launched a contest to design a mission patch for Buzz Lightyear. Buzz just came back from a 15 months stay on the Space Station; he really has a fortunate career... To commemorate the event, Mike Fincke and Buzz Aldrin were given the privilege of parading on Main Street USA at Walt Disney World. Buzz Ligthyear is an exclusive member of the "space jet set" :)

The winner will get a tour of the Kennedy Space Center, and of course, win a trip to Walt Disney World. The winner might be allowed to have an experiment conducted on the Space Station... it makes you wish you were still a kid...
