MISSION KIT
Everything else here ends at the screen. This one comes off the printer: a mission patch, a crew badge and a fold-up console card, on one sheet. Cut on the dashed lines, fold on the dotted ones.
01Print this page at 100% scale, not "fit to page":
that shrinks it and makes the fold lines lie. A4 or Letter both work. Letter is a
little shorter than A4: the three pieces print whole, and only the sheet’s footer is cut off.
02Cut the three pieces out on the dashed lines. The patch is
a shield (the heater shield that was the site’s crest before the Z, not a circle). The badge is
a rectangle with a fold across the middle, and the console card is a long strip with two
folds.
03Fold the badge along the dotted line so the crest faces out
and the blank faces in. Write your own position on it: the whole point is that it is
yours, not mine.
04Fold the console card into a triangle and stand it up. The
GO/NO-GO poll is on the reverse, so it faces you when the card faces the room.
Why paper. A portfolio that produces a physical object is rare, and an object survives a browser tab. This sheet is laid out in millimetres rather than pixels, so what is on the screen and what is on the paper are the same size, and it is drawn entirely in strokes and text, so it prints from a black-and-white laser printer with nothing missing.
