Thanks for the kind words but I need to remind everyone that this patch would not have been possible with my partner Jorge (KAPTEC). He's an incredible talent and a good friend.Since we met here on cS I have promised Robert the first crack at telling the patch story. I am receiving the attention from Florida Today because I am a local and they remember I did Expedition 11. So thank you and share your good wishes with Mi Amigo Dr. Cartes too. |

Congratulations on a great story in Florida Today and a real honor!! Your talents will forever be in space history. I too say that it is the best shuttle patch ever. The detail on the shuttle is fantastic. Also the colors are very bold and dramatic!! I'm sure the crew is very proud to wear this patch! |

I wish, and was invited by Tim, but I must to stay here working. Perhaps new year in another launch... We'll see. Thank you all for your wonderful words about the patch. I think we did a good job, and is very, very pleasant and funny to work along with Tim. He's a great guy and I'm proud to be his friend. |

collectSPACE: Astronauts and artists shape mission patch Look too closely at the STS-126 mission patch and you might miss it. The crew emblem, which depicts space shuttle Endeavour on its way back from the International Space Station (ISS) -- a scene that will be played out for real on Sunday should the current schedule and weather hold -- also symbolizes the flight's primary payload.You just have to step back to see it. |

Well, personal critiques aside, the STS-126 insignia has now joined a limited collection of crew emblems now permanently attached to the International Space Station. |
