Robert Pearlman | Soyuz TMA-17 commander Oleg Kotov was specific in his comments during our interview together that while including the children's artwork, his own ideas went into the creation of this patch. |
benguttery | Smile everyone! |
KSCartist | It's a cute design. The first in recent memory that doesn't place surnames in the order in which they will sit in the spacecraft. |
KAPTEC | Cute, simply and very nice. I can't wait to get one for my collection. Once again, congratulations Luc. |
spaceman | Some simple yet beautiful designs being produced here. Getting the children involved has so many benefits... probably least of all some great additions to our collections. |
