50 years of USA in Space patch
« on: 11/08/2007 01:51 pm »
Celebrating 50 years of America in Space.

This patch attempts to span the first 50 year history of space exploration by borrowing the themes from the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration Seal as well as one of the newest program logos, “Ares”. The colors are the red, white and blue of the US Flag as well as gold for the 50th Anniversary and the natural beauty of space.

See here for more info on the patch (it is a page of my spacepatches.nl website)

Does it say "TANG" in the gray area (above the "50")?

Mondo, I see that too...

In fact, if you alter the photo to B&W, increase the contrast, and then negative-image it, you see it MUCH more clearly...

It does... it is the artist's initials: Tim Alan Neil Gagnon (Tim describes it in this thread).

No that's the name of one of China's Taikonauts.    ::)
