collectSPACE Astronaut candidates' fly-shaped class patch is a lunar 'slam dunk'NASA's astronaut candidates are giving new definition to "fly me to the moon" with their newly-revealed class patch. The 12 spaceflight trainees — 10 from the U.S. and two from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — reported for two years of basic training in January. Four months later, they were given their official nickname, "The Flies," continuing a tradition that began with NASA's first class of astronauts in 1959. On Friday (Oct. 28), the Group 23 astronaut candidates ("ascans") shared another custom, introducing an emblem of their own.  |

It is not uncommon for patches to forgo the stars due to the limits of embroidery. At the size the flag will appear on the physical patch, it might be too small to stitch individual stars. Some patches also omit the stars for design purposes.
