To celebrate the second year of the podcast "Are We There Yet?", we commissioned designer Tim Gagnon to create a mission patch.

Gagnon has designed mission patches for NASA since the shuttle days and joins the program to talk about how these space coat of arms are designed and why so many people go bonkers collecting them. What's the big deal with these things anyways?
You can get your own "Are We There Yet?" patch here.
