"Here is a COLUMBIA Space Shuttle Patch. I will be listing several of these tonite. In addition to these, I will be listing a SHUTTLE Jacket. These patches were found in the pocket of the Jacket. The Jacket was worn in the Movie APOLLO 13 with Tom Hanks. I am selling the jacket for a friend of mine, and he told me his sister works in the Movie Business, and that is where the Jacket came from. Make sure you check them all out!!!!!!!!!!!!! High bidder pays shipping and thanx for looking."

Nice to know that, in 1970, NASA knew not only the configuration of the Shuttle as we knew it, but that the first flight would have Apollo 16 astronaut John Young - three flights after Apollo 13 - and MOL astronaut Bob Crippen, who would have just transferred from USAF, among other bits of porgnostications. Click on "view sellers other items" for the Shuttle jacket and Shuttle patches which were "around" in April 1970....
