However, I'm not totally on board with turning the whole program and insignia into some divisive PC "battle of the sexes" thing. Space exploration is far more important than that. Personally I'd have preferred something abstract like the Apollo insignia was, but more inspirational.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>cspg</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Liembo: This is the finest program insignia I have seen officially from NASA in a very long time. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I agree 100%!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Paul J.

The silver is drawn from the use of silver in Artemis mythology and the blue from the pursuit of the water ice on the moon.</UL> </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>p51</TD><TD>Am I not alone in wondering why the huge push to make it known that a woman will be in the next crew to land on the moon? They haven't picked any crew that I'm aware of. It smacks of political moves or a PR scheme for funding on NASA's part.Of course a woman astronaut among the current serving ones could land on the moon, but the idea that the die has been set for demographics alone, that doesn't set well with me.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Paul J. Brennan</TD><TD>It is both political and inspirational. No woman has yet been to the moon, so it is something new. But, it also helps with the recruitment of new female engineers, astronauts and the like. It's not a bad thing, but anytime you're talking about public funding being tied to successful outcomes, playing to specific interests is both smart and necessary. I have chosen to follow all accomplishments, by all humans/nations representing our planet. Perhaps that is the sentiment of others on these boards? And while we look at space as the challenge to be overcome, there are human realities that must be dealt with in any endeavor. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>QuiGon Grin</TD><TD>It's probably just me, but when I first looked at the logo, I immediately saw Princess Leia with her "star puff" (the curve of the moon that the rocket vector is heading toward) hairdo from A New Hope. <IMG SRC="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/smile.gif"></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>randy</TD><TD>No, it's not just you.

The patch is 3.5" in diameter and the white components of the silhouette are embroidered on this version, so I presume they are on the new, merrowed edge version. The moon is a hybrid embroidery under dye-sublimation process. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Liembo</TD><TD>SKU 437531 has date code 11/21 40.
