Summary

DescriptionNASA Astronaut Group 13 patch.png	English: The insignia for NASA's 13th group of astronaut trainees nicknamed as "The Hairballs". The 1990 astronaut clas patch shows the astronaut pin as the central motif, with the Earth, the Moon, Mars and an orbiting Shuttle. The XIII signifies that this is the 13th Group of NASA-astronauts. Twenty-three white stars symbolize the members of the class. … "I designed many of the elements of the 1990 group 13 class patch. We put Earth with a Shuttle orbiting in the foreground to represent current operations, with both the moon and Mars beckoning in the background. We seriously thought then that by now we'd really be getting ready to go back to the moon and be seriously working to press on to Mars. Most of us thought people in our class would have a great shot at going to the moon, maybe even Mars. If some of the folks stick around long enough, the moon may be possible for one of our classmates, depending what the program does." … Astronaut Rick Searfoss, June 2001
