Not an issue IMO. At the end of the day it's about the colors. Else you could argue Godspeed == Yuri

Just curious, what godspeed has to do with yuri? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, godspeed was conceived almost one year prior to the carbon/yuri guy registration at geekhack. So if there's any ressemblance (they dont even look similar) it's safe to say that yuri (which never became a group buy to begin with) is the "copycat" (sarcasm). If you're gonna make comparisons at least get your facts together, and I'm saying this because I love godspeed and it's the set that started things for me. Best set ever created and one & only original to the theme.

Nice SA set BUT don't use other Nations flags on any Key-set, other than the United States of America because NASA has and always will be USA.
They get all their funding from the Federal Government, always has been since their creation on July 29, 1958.
To now include lesser nations upon the NASA Logo is anti American and down right nasty to the extreme. Give credit where credit is due and it's the American people who have largely funded NASA for more than 59 years.
We should be seeing more Stars and Stripes here, so go back to the drawing board and work on it some more before giving righteous credit, to a National Institution known the world over as NASA.
NASA has collaborated with foreign agencies such as the ESA and the ASI, so they have included themselves with what you believe to be "lesser nations". Seeing as how you believe that credit should be given where credit is due why are you going to disregard what other countries contributed to space exploration. NASA has no problem acknowledging their contribution, yet here you are stating that acknowledging their collaboration with NASA is somehow un-American.

If you don't like RUS/EU flag keys, don't buy it, simple as that. @OCloudNine, if you like it this way, keep it this way, don't let yourself be bullied into changing a neat looking set design. We don't need to politicize ****in keycaps.

In collaboration with another member, we have teamed up to make a truly amazing set, once we are ready, i'll give you guys an update.
Nice rework! Good luck with your collaboration :thumb:
Whoa! Massive improvement, this is going to be a huge hit

Are there any issues with getting this made, you know, with the real NASA?

Paragraph (a)(c)(4) appears to require NASA's permission to use the logo in this way, although I don't know that SP would hold you to that.Are there any issues with getting this made, you know, with the real NASA?
That's a situation I'm prepping for. Mito was able to make Godspeed happen with a simplified but identifiable version of the NASA logo, so my hopes are we won't have any trouble with them either.
If we do though, then I'd like to at least move forward with the colorways. We can drop the logos if necessary. Of course, that depends on where the community interest would be without the Meatball and Worm keys.
(4) Items bearing the NASA Insignia such as souvenirs, novelties, toys, models, clothing, and similar items (including items for sale through the NASA employees' nonappropriated fund activities) may be manufactured and sold only after the NASA Insignia application has been submitted to, and approved by, the Associate Administrator for Public Affairs, or designee, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546.
Just to clarify - the Godspeed logo isn't exactly a simplified version of the Nasa logo, like the ones you can find on their design catalogues and stuff. I mean, it sort of makes sense to think that it's a simplified official version of their logo when you simply look at the result, because of the similarities, but the Godspeed logo isn't something from Nasa themselves or anything official - I just wanted to make this clear.
Apparently what you want to make is a real Nasa keyset, that features licensed american logos and stuff, and that's a bit too much in my opinion. I mean, straight out Nasa stuff. Even the names you're using are real. I don't think they would come after you, cause like I said what you're trying to do (and what I did) is just an unharmful microscopical tribute. But using the real symbols could perhaps get you in trouble, like somebody else mentioned it's in the law and stuff, so what I would recommend is do what I did and develop the idea further taking advantage of the artistic perception of the Nasa organization.
any plans for a ErgoDox key set?
Shoot a tweet at Elon and get us a SpaceX novelty key!
so... alphas, keypad, and 4 sets of mods all in SA sculpted profile. got it.
Renders look amazing.
Is this on reddit?
These look really great. Any plans for any compatibility kits? Tsangan/1800/65%/75%?

Update coming out in about an hour, should answer all your questions :thumb:
Did you actually talk to SP about creating molds for all those space bars? I don't know all of the ones don't exist off the top of my head, but for instance I do know that they don't have any 6u SA molds. Honestly I'd be surprised if they have 5.5u and 6.5u as well.
If you're actually going to get them to create any missing molds then I'll be in just to support that, otherwise you should probably remove those options.
A bit out of topic: what's the font used for the scribble annotations? The one in blue that looks like handwriting. It's beautiful!
well, ****. that is a ton more caps. not sure what i am gonna do about these spacebar/blank kits... too many color options and too many keys. i dont think i would ever use all the keys in one of those kits, but definitely need the shorty spacebars for VE.A

Hahaha, I know where you're coming from, the pole can be quite overwhelming, vote for your favorites and we will see how things turn out in Phase III!
Thanks for your support - Cloud

really, my problem is that i'm a completionist. it would bug me to just buy a tkl kit when there is so much more available here. i mean, some of these colorways are very hard to find in SA, but would look great with parts of other sets also!
january was a big month for GMK, but i'm sure that i will spend just as much on SA this year...
I read that it was at least a year...seeing as we would have to wait that long anyway, how about red JPL logo as one of the modifiers?

That may be a possibility for more unfortunate reasons (we may be losing the NASA Meatball and Worm logos due to NASA Legal not feeling what we're doing.). But we cannot modify the keyset while waiting on our SP place in the queue. Once we do the GB and get in that queue, the set is set.
However, we're trying to get NASA to come around, otherwise we will be swapping out those novelties with some new ones to help make up for the loss and keep the strong tie to NASA.

Hey question! Do the white alphas have black legends? If so I'll definitely be in for a set if so since besides SA Round 6b (which has no date) there are no other fully sculpted black on white alphas.
Second thing. Have you thought about propositioning them with a "donation" for the use of the logo? Say each person throws in $10 for every novelty set (don't think that breaks the bank) then that money is donated to NASA. Might get them to come around

SA NASA an update is coming:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/0Tqh1D9.png)
What's up guys! Cloud here.
It's been 48 years since we've landed on the moon and 180 days since we last gave the community an update on SA NASA,
so without further ado here's a small update on what is to come and what has happened so far with SA NASA.
Throughout this year we have been contacting several companies on the making of quality SA Keycaps.
We decided to contact MaxKeys and see if they were up to the challenge of making this beautiful set a reality,
sadly it was a no go with MaxKeys, after weeks of back and forth adjusting the novelty keys to their requests,
they said they wouldn't do them and decided to back away from the set and us all together. We are in contact
with another company right now and are receiving samples of the keys very soon! For the last little update it's
a word from all of us working on SA NASA.
We appreciate the out flow of support that you guys have brought for our set, we are dedicated to making this
set a reality and really giving you guys something special for when it arrives at your doorstep. All I can say for now,
is that we have a massive update on the horizon. So stay tuned for our next Phase of SA NASA.
Sincerely, OCloudNine & Cartel.
Yea sorry about that, I use the dark theme and totally forgot about the white on white :thumb:
Anything else but SP fully sculptured SA is a no go for me.
QuoteAnything else but SP fully sculptured SA is a no go for me.
Is this satire?
If not, why do you feel this way?
Also, what other company are you using?
I'm quite curious.
Lack of layout support is a valid concern. Also finish is different. Personally I prefer SP's spherical shape over MaxKeys as well. And the limitations due to production workflow would also affect the design (e.g. color distribution), and it would be sad to have such a nice set not be able to show it's true potential due to such limitations.
Any update on the layouts etc that will be part of the GB?

SP SA queue is down to 5-6 months, let's do this properly? ;)
SP SA queue is down to 5-6 months, let's do this properly? ;)This is the truth right here. I got the feeling that SP is not flooded with work atm, in 2017 there were only 3 groupbuys afaik. I am obviously not an expert with creating keysets, but isn't the majority of the design already done?
Our plan is to revisit this project and update/adjust some things within. Hopefully we can post an update soon.
