Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 01-22-2026 07:28 AM [URL=https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7419996704218787842/]Phillip Elkins[/URL] designed the above patch: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]I'm incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to help design a commemorative patch for the NASA Artemis II launch — a patch that will be worn by the crew during this historic mission honoring America's 250th anniversary. The theme, "Rocket's Red Glare," draws from a lyric that has echoed through generations, and realizing that I quite literally designed something that will travel out of this world is both humbling and surreal. Space has always represented something bigger than ourselves — curiosity, courage, and the quiet belief that we're meant to keep exploring. A heartfelt thank you to my art director and dear friend David Rager for trusting me with this opportunity and for the guidance along the way. I don't take a single moment of this for granted. Grateful. Inspired. Still a little in awe.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="https://www.collectspace.com/review/artemis_2_america_250_rockets_red_glare_patch03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="https://www.collectspace.com/review/artemis_2_america_250_rockets_red_glare_patch03.jpg" width="400" height="400"></a></center>
