collectSPACE: Astronaut's son draws insignia inspiration from father, mother and Leonardo da Vinci Like any soon-to-be astronaut, Richard Garriott needed a patch to sew onto his spacesuit and to represent his mission.

The design belongs to Richard Garriott, thus it cannot be reproduced (commercially) without his permission. After he returns from space, it should become clearer how he intends to answer requests for his patch. | |
