NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has been seen recently (since at least June 2022) wearing a new patch on his blue flight jacket.The patch, which reads "Onward and Upward" depicts the moon and Mars. Along the border are icons representing the X-59 Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator, a Mars Science Laboratory-class rover, the International Space Station and the Space Launch System. At the top of the patch are three names: Melroy (Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy), Nelson (Administrator Bill Nelson) and Cabana (Associate Administrator Bob Cabana).  |

I can’t help giggling. Anyway, I thought the Mars Rover was a dog off for a walk until I read your text Robert. |

Has a replacement for Bob Cabana been announced? |

Jim Free, previously NASA's associate administrator for exploration systems development, is now the associate administrator, replacing Bob Cabana.I have yet to see an updated patch or know if one is planned. At an event earlier this week, Nelson was still wearing the patch with Cabana's name. |
