Author	Topic: Smithsonian 'Reboot the Suit' Armstrong patch
MOL Member Posts: 98 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2004	posted 12-23-2015 12:33 PM As a Kickstarter backer for the Neil Armstrong spacesuit restoration at the Smithsonian, I just received the special patch that was designed by Mike Okuda - known for his work on Star Trek. The patch was made in the USA by AB Emblem.
