Comments[edit]

The article seems to imply that the US Air Force is issuing these thing to every astronaut, presumably including Russians, Europeans and Chinese. I would have thought they'd limit it to their own employees? Horatio 11:49, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Astronauts themselves?[edit]

Can somebody confirm that astronauts themselves are not legible for astronaut wings, and maybe explain why this is so? I'm confused because the definition on the page now implies that all astronauts should get astronaut wings too. Aliekens — Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 30 June 2004 (UTC)[reply]

"astronaut wings"[edit]

This currently redirects to the US government badges, but that is no longer the case, now that Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have minted their own in-house wings. This needs to be returned into being a separate article, that covers the variants of space wings. One would be a link for the US government badges, other badges for cosmonauts etc should also be covered. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 05:00, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
