1984 Charles Walker / Mc Donald Douglas Astronaut Pin Pinback Button

This 1 ½ inch STS-41-D, Charlie Walker button was designed for McDonnell Douglas, an aerospace company that held contracts with NASA throughout Project Mercury, the Gemini program, the Apollo program, and the Space Shuttle program. In 1984, Walker, a McDonnell-Douglas engineer, flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery as the first commercial payload specialist. According to the National Air and Space Museum, Buttons representing specific missions were examples of one type of space memorabilia often distributed to NASA employees and contractors. Wearing this button would demonstrate one's connection to the program. Pin is in very good condition.
