This Week in the Future, July 23-27, 2012
Baarbarian
This week's Baarbarian illustration is an ode to one of our heroes--the first female American in space, Sally Ride. (To cheer up, we might recommend looking at this picture of a tiny marmoset for awhile.)
Want to win this Baarbarian illustration on a T-shirt? It's easy! The rules: Follow us on Twitter (we're @PopSci) and retweet our This Week in the Future tweet. One of those lucky retweeters will be chosen to receive a custom T-shirt with this week's Baarbarian illustration on it, thus making the winner the envy of their friends, coworkers and everyone else with eyes.
