Skylab I / 2 Spirit - 6" - Tim Gagnon ORIGINAL AB Emblem - NASA SPACE PATCH MINT

Description

Skylab I / 2 Spirit
- 6" - Tim Gagnon ORIGINAL AB Emblem - NASA SPACE PATCH
This 4 1/2" by 6" fully embroidered emblem is based on a 1973 editorial cartoonist depicting the launch of the first increment crew as a screwdriver launching into space. I attempted to track down that cartoon without success. Pete Conrad said at launch: “Skylab 2, we fix anything!”
Paying tribute to the three crewed missions I wanted to clear up the confusion about the mission designation numbers. The original mission patches were numbered 1,2 and 3 while the official NASA designation numbered the launches including the lab itself as 1, 2, 3 and 4. I included both. As with my Apollo Set I wanted to depict the mission patch images as realistic and design a “spirit” patch that captured the essence of each mission. I am honored that before his death Alan Bean consulted on the Skylab II/3 patches.
