Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bill Hunt: [B]One thing that's worth noting is that the patch Space Boosters has offered in the past is NOT the same as the actual patch that Melville and Binnie wore on the flights (which is pictured above). The actual flight patches have been offered on eBay a few times (I managed to get a set of them that way), but they're tough to find. [/B][/QUOTE]

Thank you.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Melvill did not wear a mission-specific patch. He wore the insignia of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots on his right shoulder and on his left, the emblem of Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne Test Flight program (the design and name SpaceShipOne are trademarks of Paul G. Allen's Mojave Aerospace Ventures): <IMG SRC="http://www.collectspace.com/review/ss1patch.jpg"> (Note that Allen has only authorized <A HREF="http://www.rocketboosters.org" TARGET=_blank>The Rocket Boosters</A>, a non-profit coalition of organizations in and around Mojave, to sell online SS1 insignia products. As of yesterday, a patch was not among those items offered. Since this is a commercial project, the designs related to the program are not public domain and cannot be reproduced for commercial purposes without a license from Mojave Aerospace.)</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>sts205cdr</TD><TD>I just received this reply to my inquiry:"I can say with a reasonable certainty that there will be a patch in the near future.
