[F13] Brainstorming Goddard theme

[Luya Tshimbalanga]

Hello team,

The release name for Fedora 13 is Goddard [1] as quoted : "Since 
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a rocket scientist, so is Robert H. Goddard". 
With some research, theme will be based on these following categories:
- Rockets (propulsion, spacecraft) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket
- Space (based on Goddard Flight Center website) - http://nasa.org/goddard
- Astrodynamics

Please submit ideas either on mailing list or wiki as long it is related 
to the quoted theme. You can use images from Nasa website free to be 
modified [2]. Solar theme should not be considered because Fedora 10 
Cambridge already used it.

I think rocketry is quite obvious: stars, space flight, rocket schematics.

Depending on the direction we will take with the distro in the near 
future, I think a concept like "fedora: for your inner rocket scientist" 
or "fedora: is not rocket science" would be fit (my *strong* preference 
would be for the former).

That's not using a blue sun as the main element of the theme, but we can 
go with stars, galaxies, nebulas, satellites, earth seen from space...

Maybe could a steampunk kind-of-style be cool :) A rocket-motor or something
like that.

I thought so myself, but I restrained from talking about it, steampunk 
seems like an unicorn for us, we toyed with the idea a couple of times 
(F10 and F12) and never came to the fruition.

No, I've seen that. Else I think we should make a futuristic theme ;)

Good enough.  Just for let know for new designers that blue sun cannot 
used as main theme.
