It's super retro, but part of me kind of likes the NASA "worm" logo over the "meatball".

Its not retro at all. To me it's timeless modernism/futurism. They should switch back.

Yeh the font on meatball is generic. Worm is iconic.

Vaguely related, the technical writing style manual from NASA: http://hdl.handle.net/2060/19900017394

It's of course opinionated, but for anyone who is not an opinionated pro themselves, it's a great resource to learn concise, precise, and readable technical communication. (imho, of course)

As a non-native speaker, definitely a ressource I should read.

And to think this would have been put together in the pre-PC/desktop publishing era. Total gem.
