I collect NASA Special Publications, and just got SP-4402 "Origins of NASA Names", from 1976. It's a goldmine.

For example why did the rocket that launched the first US satellite (Explorer 1) have a UE on it? Because it was booster 29 in the Jupiter C production line and ABMA (what became NASA Marshall) used a goofy little cipher to confuse Soviet spies (and everyone else).

DSEG is a family of free (and open-source) fonts of 7- and 14- segment displays. These allow for designing gorgeous digital displays!
