The journey was long on the development of this patch for the SpaceX Crew 10 flight next year but Astronaut Nichole Ayers was such a pleasure to work with!! Can't say enough nice things about her! We were all really happy with the dragon's wings harmonizing with the Roman numeral X theme of the design. The crew had a wonderful vision for this design!</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Space Emblem Art</TD><TD>I like it!

The red, white, and blue stars are the flag colors of each crew members' home country, and the brightest stars represent the crew's closest family members and support system.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Ben</TD><TD>Of note, a slightly different story from the official description of the patch on the reverse of the SFA decal (as <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBcqaIsMsqI/?img_index=2" TARGET=_blank>posted by Nicole Ayers</A>): <BLOCKQUOTE>They used AI for initial inspiration, while the ever-irreplaceable human perfected the design and brought the patch to fruition.</BLOCKQUOTE> I wonder what the initial AI looked like compared to the final product.

The official AB Emblem-made patches are now listed by The Space Store and Skyforce Space Patches. The horizontal yellow stitching along the dragon's upper wings, a smaller ISS, and no embedded labels these are the main giveaways. There are also some other slight colour difference in the lighter blue colour background stitching. The ShopNASA patch is also smaller at 4" wide x 3.5" high.The details on the embedded labels for the SpaceX Crew-10 AB Emblem version at 4.3" wide x 3.7" high patch are as follows;<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>470649 A-B Emblem Made In USA 10/24 20 (Baikonur) <LI>470649 A-B Emblem Made In USA 11 2420 (this label can also be found on some of the ISS-72 patches in Error) <LI>470649 A-B Emblem Made In China 11/2440 (Nick D.) <LI>470649 A-B Emblem Made In USA 12 2420 (MSFC Huntsville via eBay)</UL> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew10_patch04-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew10_patch04.jpg" width="400" height="400" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>GACspaceguy</TD><TD>I received my NASA shop version yesterday, it is small.

The use of AI to create a crew patch — the 170th such insignia to represent a NASA astronaut mission since 1965 — may be more of a "small step" than a "giant leap," but it was distinctive enough to be highlighted in the official description of the emblem.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-031025a-spacex-crew-10-mission-patch-ai-artificial-intelligence-nasa.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-031025a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Here is SpaceX's Crew-10 patch, referencing how Endurance will be the company's first crewed Dragon to return to a Pacific Ocean splashdown.<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew_10_spx_patch01-lg.png" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew_10_spx_patch01.jpg" width="400" height="400" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Nicole Jordan, NASA operations manager for the Commercial Crew Program, wore this Crew-10 brooch in the control room of SpaceX's HangarX at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida (photo credit: NASA/Aubrey Gemignani).<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew_10_brooch01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_crew_10_brooch01.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
