Vote for Missions

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. 

AI Converted My Designs Into Embroidery

Not too bad. Again… these are MY DESIGNS. Do not confuse this. I only had AI convert my existing designs into patches. 


I tried this only a few weeks ago and it totally failed. Sputnik is the best conversion of the lot. 


I really like what it did for Vostok. I think the AI Gagarin might look more like him, but it is likely because mine includes the puffy face from the helmet padding, whereas the AI one likely sourced regular portraits. It however did over-simplify the Vostok craft with that weird single stovepipe and missing antennae. I also miss the grey belt. 


This was the second best translation. I think I would use this for the reference to the producer. The line between names should be white though. Weird the things it decides to change when you say to “maintain my design, color, and layout”.
