Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Hart Sastrowardoyo on 02-01-2016 09:53 AM As you point out, 51L was STS-33, eight flights having been canceled or postponed. When the first return to flight happened, the next mission was STS-26 (or more accurately, STS-26R.) The seven stars on the STS-26 patch do commemorate the Challenger crew: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The predominant themes are: a new beginning (sunrise), a safe mission (stylized launch and plume), the building upon the traditional strengths of NASA (the red vector which symbolizes aeronautics on the original NASA insignia), and a remembrance of their seven colleagues who died aboard Challenger (the seven-starred Big Dipper). The patch was designed by artist Stephen R. Hustvedt of Annapolis, MD.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> FYI, so do the stars on the STS-27 patch.
