New 'Great Leaps in Space' enamel pins celebrate astronaut missionsAs it turns out, "Giant Leaps in Space" are more popular than "Historic Robotic Spacecraft," at least when it comes to the sale of collectible pins.
Chop Shop Studio, a Pennsylvania-based design firm that focuses on space and science, has kicked off a crowdfund to produce a series of pins "celebrating the most important missions in human spaceflight history." Launched on BackerKit on Aug. 11, the Vostok, Apollo and International Space Station-focused campaign has already surpassed $6,000 from more than 130 people with two weeks more to go.
