They're bound to have some similarities when they're not abstract. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>KSCartist</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by PowerCat: I think the Expeditions 26, 27 and 28 patches each had a similar orientation and appearance of the ISS.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You are correct.Jorge and I designed the 26 and 27 patches concurrently. We deliberately flipped the ISS for 27 to illustrate the Southern Hemisphere and added the Southern Cross constellation. Whoever did 28 used our ISS. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by BMckay: I see very little similarity to yours.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Bryan, the similarities are the position of Earth and the moon. To be clear, I’m not upset. Just surprised.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Moonbase Alphan</TD><TD>The full color, detailed image looks far better than that patch. Even the embroidered shirts that the crew wears are better as well. Seems like that patch may be a work-in-progress, and will have a lot more stitching added to it.<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss68_patch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss68_patch02.jpg" width="400" height="400" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Tom</TD><TD>Oh...much better!! </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>waa49</TD><TD>Is there already an explanation about the patch?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>MSS</TD><TD>Here is the Expedition 68 patch from <A HREF="https://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=5893" TARGET=_blank>GCTC web page</A>:<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss68_patch03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss68_patch03.jpg" width="400" height="400" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Skyforce1</TD><TD>I am sending out all orders with Expedition 68 tomorrow morning after the launch of the SLS.AB Emblem sticker on the back reads 444068 08/22 20 Made in the USA. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Kevin T.

Today, the U.S., Russia, Japan, Canada, and the European Space Agency are partnering in the operation of the largest ever orbital outpost managed by humankind. Seven sparkling stars in the vastness of space represent crewmembers and experts on the ground operating the space station. Bright sunbeams illuminate the station, a platform for scientific research, Earth and astronomical observation, education, as well as development of new technologies necessary for the exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, on the Moon and Mars.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
