T O P I C R E V I E WcapoetcDoes anyone have any information about these pins?Were they awards for NASA employees? Available for purchase at the KSC gift shop?I recently acquired one and was wondering about the background on them. Thanks. Go4LaunchI recently read they were issued by Rockwell, (not NASA as I had guessed). They turn up fairly regularly on eBay and don't go very high. capoetc quote:Originally posted by Go4Launch:I recently read they were issued by Rockwell, (not NASA as I had guessed).

Farthest Reaches has one for sale, but my guess is that the price there has more to do with the fact that it is from Al Worden's personal collection. as for the provenance, I have no idea. sorry!
