Arial and satellite photo’s taken of the space shuttle Discovery earlier this year have confirmed strange markings on the craft’s outer hull. The markings appear to be a corporate logo, indicating that NASA may be having cash flow problems and are taking on corporate sponsorship of future shuttle missions to cover rising maintenance costs of the aging spacecraft.

NASA officials are mum on the topic, neither confirming or denying the rumor on the phone earlier today, but added, “Rate cards are available on request.”
