This evening I realized that I have not yet displayed our crew patch on the blog. I personally happen to love our patch and the history behind it. The shape of the patch represents the Cupola, which is the big bay window that the crew will attach to the ISS. The view of the Earth is actually the first picture of the Earth taken from the moon in August of 1966, thus sympbolically representing the moon as both a past and future destination. The shuttle is shown approaching the space station, demonstrating its role in the construction of the ISS. And of course, the names of the 6 crew members are listed on the edges of the cupola.
