Civilian Badges
NASA also has an Astronaut Badge, which is issued to civilian personnel who participate in U.S. space missions.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has granted commercial astronaut wings to civilian pilots who have performed a successful spaceflight. Currently, only Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie have these wings.

Famous quotes containing the word badges:
“Whether our feet are compressed in iron shoes, our faces hidden with veils and masks; whether yoked with cows to draw the plow through its furrows, or classed with idiots, lunatics and criminals in the laws and constitutions of the State, the principle is the same; for the humiliations of the spirit are as real as the visible badges of servitude.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
