Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by mode1charlie: [B]A friend of mine, who has a family member who works for Blue Origin but who's not into space stuff himself, got a tour of their facility and they gave him this patch which he then gave to me. They told him that it had been flown on one of the New Shepard launches, but there is nothing to document or prove that one way or another. It's 3 3/8 inch (87mm) and I have no further information on it. Since there is no accompanying documentation whatsoever about its possible flown status, I understand that it will have to be considered "possibly flown." <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/mode1charlie/blueorigin_ns9_patch01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/mode1charlie/blueorigin_ns9_patch01.jpg" width="400" height="328" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/mode1charlie/blueorigin_ns9_patch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/mode1charlie/blueorigin_ns9_patch02.jpg" width="400" height="338" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
