The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is honoring the people who built and maintained the American space shuttle program with a special patch to commemorate the colorful and unrivaled history of the remarkable program. The program is set to end in September.

The 15 finalists that will be selected by a small panel are being featured on Wired’s Web site. The image to the right is one of the finalists.
