Since our now newly designed standard plate sucks so much, I'm going for a personalized Columbia memorial plate.
I'm a Science nut and I believe the fees go to a good cause and a small way to pay tribute to crew, it says:
From the $30 specialty plate fee, $22 goes to the Texas Aerospace Commission to make grants benefiting the Aviation and Space Foundation of Texas for the purposes of furthering aviation and space activities in Texas and providing Columbia Crew memorial scholarships to students. |
If you're asking is the image shown that of the Columbia, then it's tough to say. It did explode over Texas and much of the debris landed in Texas. The old plates had a little silhouette of a generic shuttle, but that's because of NASA in Houston, I think.
I think they've gone WAAAAAAY overboard on the plates. Red Grapefruit? Cotton Bolls? Florida Gators?

I guess they'll put anything on a plate if it means an extra $30.
