APOLLO 13 Official Launch 4\" Embroidered Patch - :
$4.50

  • Own a piece of NASA history
  • Featuring Apollo, the god of sun with his chariot flying across space
  • \"Ex Luna Scienta\" means \"From the moon, knowledge\"
  • The 1969 mural by Lumen Winter which \"inspired the design of the Apollo 13 patch\", originally hung in the St. Regis Hotel. When the hotel was being refurbished, Tom Hanks (who portrayed Jim Lovett in the Apollo 13 movie) purchased it and gave the paining to Jim Lovell. The mural now hangs in the Capt. James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Ill.
  • It is an interesting coincidence that, aside from Apollo 11, this was the only flight of the Apollo series that did not include the names of the crewmembers on the patch -- and this was the only flight to have a change in crew. I imagine that later crews didn\'t want to tempt fate by omitting their names!
