Discovery at Udvar-Hazy is why I started this project. I saw the serial numbers on the tiles – almost close enough to touch on tiptoe – and remembered reading about some kind of database. I imagined a visualization with a line for every tile over time, and decided to find the records to make the viz.

That was two years ago. I’ve asked a lot of people since then, but after making a web site for the project (on @doingitwrong’s advice), this week is by far the most attention it’s gotten. I’m hoping this is what finally gets word to someone who knows something.
