Title: Moon-shot: Woman in the Moon

Description: A lunar mission badge for the first woman on the Moon 2001.

Maker: Helen Schell, artist

Techniques used: Machine embroidery & hand sewing

Inspiration:

"As an artist & educator who creates many Moon themed projects, I get people who think the Apollo mission was a hoax! I decided to create a real 'hoax' and invented LEDA Mission, 2001, which sent the first woman to the Moon. Now real science has caught up."
