The $2.00 shipping is for each order, Unless you're ordering something like 20-25 patches.

Can I ask a question about the following NASA statement: 'The NASA insignia design for space station flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize.'

Would that mean that, for example, a space enthusiast may not sew even the no name version on any apparel of leisure clothing or is that an authorised activity?

One glimmer of hope here is that Tim has allowed us on the forum to buy complete and accurate versions of the patches.

If this continues, maybe AB Emblem will just produce these versions without recourse to special orders.

There's obviously a market.

For U.S. orders, the Expedition 17 (no name) patch from AB Emblems costs $5.99 plus $7.50 for shipping. Tim is graciously charging only $5.00 per patch with $2.00 for shipping for patches we cannot get elsewhere. I have ordered the other two patches with gratitude.

I sell the patches for the same price as Tim $5 so with shipping that would be $6.00 total for one patch.

I do not have to make a provit out of it, its just a service...

I know it's easy for us. But it's still a chore for Tim and Jacques to provide this great service to all of us.

I was just saying that AB Emblem etc. should be organising this a bit better so that guys like Tim and Jacques don't have to be so generous with their time.

Count me in. I'll get a payment out to you ASAP. Thanks once more for doing this.

Thank you all for ordering.

Please drop me an email when you receive yours, (you know who you are).

BTW I have three sets of 1st, 2nd and 4 name crew patches available. I also have 6 sets of 1st and 2nd crew available. Email me if interested.

I report the safe arrival of the Expedition 17 patches across the Pond.

Very many thanks for the service you have provided.

People in Europe who are interested in them can order them by me, look at my website.

Thanks Tim!!

It looks great seeing all 4 versions on my wall now!

I'm new in the town. My name is Oscar Rodriguez, and I live in Cadiz, Spain. I see there is another Spaniard around here (Hola KAPTEC!).

I'm the manager of the Project for the Creation of the first Spanish Museum of Space Flight (Project MEE) an initiative focused on the creation of a science, educational center where people of all ages have a direct access to everything related to space science and technology here in Spain (you can find more information in this website.)

I started collecting space patches for the future museum's collections a couple of years ago. Today I received the Exp-17 "Chamitoff" and four-name version patches from Jacques today. Thank you very much Tim and Jacques for providing us with these and other patches.

One piece you should definitely include in your museum is the STS-126 patch. One of the artists who created it is our own KAPTEC your fellow countryman.

Good luck with your museum!

I remember watching The Cape at late-night (the series aired at around 2:00 a.m. here in Spain four or five years ago).

Of course, the STS-126 patch will have a special place in the collections. It's a very nice patch and I'm glad a fellow Spaniard is one of its creators.

Best regards from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean!

It's very nice find another spanish involved in this forum, and best of all read about your project.

Where are you going to create it, in Cadiz? (It would be another interesting thing to do in "La Tacita de Plata" -guys that's the nick-name of this beautiful Andalucian city, and means "The Little Silver Cup"-)

Count with me for anything in wich I could help you.

(Tim, once again thankyou so much for your words)

Thanks for your message. Glad to meet you!

The Museum has no a concrete location yet. Unfortunately, supports from local, regional and national Government organizations are non-existent. The lack of support also extends to the educational activities I've been developing since 1994. In other words, I should pay out of my pocket if I want them to be developed.

You can find more information about some of these activities here:

Any help to this project is most welcome!
