The Expedition 63 patch represents an intersection of the past and the beginning of a new dawn in human space flight as we continue to inhabit the International Space Station, aim towards returning to the Moon and plan for the journey to Mars.
Thirteen illuminated stars along the top of the patch commemorate the Apollo 13 mission celebrating its 50th anniversary during Expedition 63. The swoosh in the shape of the number “63” orbiting around the Earth and Moon honors the Apollo Program and the future missions to go beyond low Earth orbit.
The atom, shown overlaid on a vibrant sunrise, is the Expedition 63 crew’s call sign symbolizing the energy to revolve, or orbit around a nucleus or in their case, the Earth. The international crew will continue to carry out the important mission of collaboration in preserving the space station as a
microgravity and space environment research laboratory.

Sam Patch began working as a child laborer in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in a textile mill. When he was not working, he entertained other boys by jumping off the mill dam. By his mid 20s he was working at a mill in Paterson, New Jersey, and was jumping off ever-higher spots. He was beginning to attract crowds for his well-advertised stunts. In September 1827, he jumped off the 70-foot Passaic Falls in New Jersey, pleasing a large crowd that had gathered.
Patch continued his career jumping from bridges, factory walls, and ship's masts. He became the first of Niagara Falls' famous daredevils.
Patch was the star attraction at an event designed to draw visitors to the falls. A 125-foot ladder was rigged for Sam's jump over the gorge below Goat Island opposite the Cave of the Winds. Less than an hour before the scheduled noon jump, a chain securing the ladder to the cliff wall snapped, breaking 15 feet from the ladder. Rescheduled for 4 PM, Patch jumped on time. A boat circled near the entry point, but Patch did not appear. When he was finally spotted on the shore, a great roar went up from the crowd. Sam Patch was the first to jump over Niagara Falls and live. Bad weather and the delay in his arrival drew a disappointingly small crowd for this jump, so Patch announced he would jump again. A few days later, 10,000 gathered to watch him keep his word. His slogan, "Some things can be done as well as others," became a popular slang expression across the nation.
Patch then went to Rochester, New York, to challenge the 99-foot-high High Falls. He jumped the falls one time privately, for practice, witnessed by his companion Joe Cochrane.
[edit] Last jump
His first jump on November 6, 1829 drew a disappointing crowd, so he picked Friday the 13th to do it again. After a pre-jump celebration in several local taverns, he threw his pet bear cub off the 25-foot tower he had built at the brink. Accounts from the 8,000 present differ on whether he actually jumped or fell, but he did not achieve his normal feet-first vertical entry. A loud impact was heard and he never surfaced. Rumors were passed that he had hidden in a cave at the base of the falls, and was enjoying all the excitement he had created. But his frozen body was found in the ice in Charlotte (Rochester) early the next spring by Silas Hudson. Local ministers were quick to blame the crowd for urging him to jump, and put the guilt of his death on them.
"COMMANDO" patch 1
**** Note: This patch is still part of my my want list (if anyone out there is interested in selling one).
minha 1ª maçã de pano!!!!!! ainda falta o acabamento, canela, cheirinho... vou fazer em tons de verde, essa foi para experimentar o molde que eu fiz, acho que ficou bom...
I decided to use the flash on it. This was the only angle I could find that didn't reflect off the glass and wash out the patches.
