Yep, that is a real, official patch which they will use. I just wonder if Marvel is sponsoring a ton of money to NASA for their name on the patch.

A backup crew

P.S.
Though, the money is probably not an issue.
Remember the  Charon landscape details:

Probably, it's a good new trend to use not only Ancient / Shakespeare characters, but also modern ones.

You mean like from Lord of the Rings?

I think this is pretty cool.  The patch is a little ridiculous, but hey,  if it gets younger people into space and science then I'm all for it.  My irrational fear revolves around future generations not being able to continue what the past few generations have accomplished in the realm of science and space. All i can see is twitter,  Facebook, selfies and kale smoothies coming from current a future generations. Maybe I need to take the blinders off.  Whoa,  sorry to rant. This dumb little patch set off more than I anticipated lol
