The border and living quarters highlighted in red mark the first time that a Canadian will command a spaceship, an honor bestowed on Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Chris Hadfield. The central element portrays the International Space Station -- the world's only space science and research facility supporting long-term studies in the weightless environment of space. Scientific discoveries and technological innovations produced aboard the ISS have applications to both terrestrial science and planetary exploration, represented by the white, silver and red arcs symbolic of the Earth, Moon and Mars. The stars represent Hadfield's three voyages into space, and his three children. The ring around one of the stars illustrates the recent discovery of hundreds of other stars with planets circling them. The azure pool at the point of the crest signifies water -- the fundamental basis for life on Earth and a resource that requires careful management. Bringing attention to the need for fresh water conservation is one of Chris Hadfield's underlying goals during this mission. The astronaut wings at the top were conferred on Colonel Hadfield by the Prime Minister of Canada in 1995 in recognition of his qualification as Canada's first military pilot astronaut. All these elements are defined by the shape of a guitar pick, symbolic of Chris’s musical interests with an emphasis on science and art, a distinguishing feature of Expedition 34/35.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>KSCartist</TD><TD>Great patch!

Next presentation Hadfield is at, he pitches a few of the picks to the audience at the conclusion, with a "Goodnight, everybody!"I guess if Kevin Ford gets another flight, either the mission patch or his personal patch will have to be in the shape of a drum, huh?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>music_space</TD><TD>The suggestion of a guitar-pick reproduction of the insignia has been expressed to the agency.Also, during the press interviews in English this morning, Hadfield mentioned that the ring seen around one of the stars on the insignia not only symbolizes recent developments in exoplanetary science, but also the fact that one of his kids is married. The Hadfield family has been talking to find out "what we really think this mission should symbolize as a family, and as a country".</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>GoesTo11</TD><TD>Anyone know if this patch will be available to the public?

I have seen artists at the very few concerts I have ever been to, pitch picks into the crowd during or at the end of the concert. A most very personal souvenir, to be sure. Harry Chapin used to hang around at the end of his performances for meet and greets, chatting away, shaking hands, signing autographs... what a great piece to have, a FLOWN guitar pick!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>From Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) on Twitter: <BLOCKQUOTE>Mission patch - my 1st cloth version.
