Since the shuttle jumpsuits some of us ordered have gone out, I've
gotten several requests for information concerning where people can get
NASA mission and other patches for them.  Here's the information I have,
feel free to add to it.

Any major NASA facility (KSC,JSC, JPL, Headquarters, Goddard etc.) has a
gift shop.  Many of them mail order.  I know that HQ sells the real
patches (many sources sell good replicas) and that Goddard also has a
nice selection of Soviet patches.

The National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC does mail order and
has most everything.

The Space Shop, The Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL 35807
phone (800) 633-7280.  They definitely do take mail order, have most
everything going back to Gemini (everything before then was not a
real mission patch).  STS-26 patches are available.

As best I've been able to determine.  The pattern for sewing patches
onto the shutlle coverall is.
	Right shoulder - NASA "worm"
	Right chest    - Mission patch
	Left chest (under nametag) - NASA "meatball"
	Left shoulder - American flag
