Gemini 8 50th Anniversary Commemorative

The challenge with this patch was to not only depict the first docking of two spacecraft in Earth orbit but also the malfunction that spun the craft out of control and endangered the crew in a way that could be embroidered.

Space enthusiasts will recognize the inspiration provided by the STS-134 patch. This shape allowed me to depict Gemini 8 spinning and rotating.

The mission icon of Roman numerals includes a reference to the 50th anniversary. Neil Armstrong's name is in gold thread because he was a former Naval Aviator. David Scott's is in silver to represent his service in the USAF.

This design was created by Tim Gagnon of Titusville, FL and Jorge Cartes of Madrid, Spain.

Order Now: Your price is $10 each for the patches. Shipping via USPS Priority Mail: $10 domestic USA; $25 for International. Orders can be combined.

Please print and send in this form along with your payment. Or you can pay via PayPal and add 5% to your total to cover fees. If you choose this option, please include your mailing address and email me the completed form.

You must submit your paid order no later than February 29, 2016.

I hate to say it, but art appreciation being personal, I really didn't like that. Didn't like the STS-134 orbits, didn't like five Gemini spacecraft.
