This is one of the coolest pins I have! It is a replica of the STS-7 mission patch worn by the Space Shuttle astronauts. This was the seventh shuttle mission and the second for the space shuttle Challenger. No, it wasn't that Challenger mission, but it was still a notable mission. You will notice the names of the astronauts on the bottom of the pin. One name that should stand out is Ride. This was Sally Ride's first mission. She was the first female astronaut, so this was a very important mission. Other interesting notes about this pin are that the seven stars represent that this was the seventh shuttle mission, as does the arm, which extends from the shuttle to form a 7. And the five armed symbol on the right represents the flight crew, consisting of four males and one female. Once again, it's really one of the coolest pins I have. I don't know where I got it, but I love having it.
