We now have EIGHT patches funded. Here is the full set with ISS added:

We’ve already added a pledge level for the International Space Station patch and it’s also now available in the add-ons section of the campaign platform. So if you want to build your own custom mission set—or just make sure ISS is in the mix—you can grab it there. 

Please POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA if you like what we are doing. We are most active on BlueSky. See what is up there. Lots of scientists and creatives call it home. 

We are only $223 away from unlocking ISS. I bet we could do this by EOD. 

As a result we started working on the Viking patch translation as that will be the next one up. There was no enamel pin translation on this mission, so it will be a whole new render from the original poster design. 

If you are already pledged, you can now go back in and add the new Shuttle patch, as well as the Apollo Enameled Pin which just arrived in our studio yesterday.

We now have SEVEN patches funded. Here is the full set with Shuttle added:

Funded in just about a day and a half! I consider this a huge success, especially since these aren't new designs—they're all from our last two space mission projects. Plus we set the goal higher than usual.

We also closed the poll for selecting the missions and the results are in… This includes votes cast in the comments below. So ignore the discrepancies in the official tally on the page. the next four potential missions to be featured are:

Space Shuttle (STS) - 19 votes (@ $3,250)
ISS - 11 votes (@ $3,750)
MER (Spirit & Oppy) - 11 votes (@ $4,550)
Viking (First on Mars) - 8 votes (@ $5,250)

Here is the first render for the Shuttle patch which is stretch goal #1:



Now we're not opposed to doing more. If we hit the final stretch goal with time left in the campaign, we'll add more. That said... 

Gemini Program - 8 votes
Galileo (at Jupiter) - 7 votes
New Horizons (at Pluto) - 6 votes
Venera (First on Venus) - 5 votes
Juno (at Jupiter) - 4 votes
Rosetta/Philae - 2 votes
Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle - 2 votes

Get the Giant Leaps enamel pin series now with our simple ONE-PAGE pre-order. The only option here is if you also want to toss in the two Vostok and LEM vehicle only pins as well. Easy as pii.

For the other two campaigns for Robotic Spacecraft and Dinosaur Extinction, those are all now listed in our pin shop and are now shipping. 

We really need some diversification of the vote. I would just revert to older polls, but this is the first time I am asking backers to choose from crewed AND robotic missions. So I have no sense of how many would like Galileo over Gemini. There is an okay amount of votes (18) but the spread between the options is like 2,3,2,1,3,2,1 and so on. 

So if you can take a second. Pick one and since BackerKit doesn’t provide the optiom to choose multiples. I suggest people put second, third and fourth choices in the comments on the poll.
