    THE FALCON HAS LANDED
    FIRST OFFICIAL LANDING
    FIRST FULL THRUST LAUNCH & LANDING
    SpaceX Employee Numbered Patch
    Falcon 9 v1.2 FT December 21, 2015
    Employee # 2299
    After a devastating anomaly with Dragon CRS-7's launch on June 15, 2015, and months of hard work on my part, we were able to launch again in just shy of 6 months. That hard work allowed for us to have the very first official landing of an orbital class booster. Which now sits at SpaceX HQ, right where my desk used to be.
    Each of the listed patches were handed to all employees of SpaceX. The employee numbering of patches were solely based on seniority at the time of launch of either a Falcon 9 satellite/cargo deployment, or from a Falcon 9/Dragon launch. Employee number embroidering did not begin until F9 v1.1 September 29, 2013. The pre-embroidered employee number patches ceased in 2019 due to budget constraints, with exception to significant launches.
    I worked for SpaceX until 2019 in various departments, and spent a majority of my time in Dragon R&D. Helping to bring to life the current Crew Dragon. Validation pics are shown.
