If you need a spacecraft operators crash report, replacement quarks, or a black hole starter kit, Greenwood Space Travel Supply company is just the place for you. Located in Seattle, Washington this futuristic supply company is as funny as it is stylish.
My first contact with the company was a poster, sent to me as a gift from a friend in Seattle, titled "Will I make a good space traveler?" (more pictures of their wares after the jump). As I hung it in my living room this afternoon, I decided I needed to make sure my fellow space travelers also knew about this great find.
Although the super cool storefront also marks the secret entrance to a clever reading/writing tutoring program for kids age 6-18 (clever because it makes kids want to go there), I think it is cool of its own right. I mean how many stores do you know that have rocket parking in the roof? Proceeds from the sale of their funny/irreverent/aesthetically pleasing space travel supplies all go to support the kids tutoring, I just wish it was available to you all online! Maybe if you call they can arrange for shipping. After all it's not even intergalactic freight...
Even if you can't mail order their stuff, I recommend you send a donation their way. Anyone adding humor this entertaining to the universe ought to be rewarded.
