On May 6, 2024, Boeing, ULA and NASA will attempt to launch the first crewed flight of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. This flight is also called Boeing CFT or Boe-CFT. The crew, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, have named the spacecraft "Calypso" after reknowned undersea explorer and conservationist Jacques Cousteau's ship the RV Calypso. I wanted to design a patch that celebrates the origin of the spacecraft's name. This patch depicts the Starliner Calypso on re-entry after it has departed the ISS. The patch shows the black of space and the wavy blues of the Earth's oceans. On the horizon is the original MV Calypso. The patch is 4" in diameter.
