STS-8 "Eyes" Cape Kennedy Medals 3"

This patch was designed by STS-8 Pilot Dan Brandenstein. In the right window are Commander Richard Truly's eyes, behind spectacles, looking casually at things to come. Truly was the only veteran on board STS-8. The wonders of spaceflight might have seemed routine to him, having previously flown aboard STS-2. In the left window four pairs of wide open eyes can be seen gazing out. The eyes of the four rookies; Dan Brandenstein, Dale Gardnet, Guy Bluford and Bill Thornton.
