Posthuman Blues

Longtime PB reader John Fenderson (of DRT News and The Cabal) sent me a link to this intriguing patch -- ostensibly an official NASA mission emblem -- which clearly shows Discordian frontwoman Eris doing something or other in orbit around the Earth.

Writes Fenderson:

This cloth patch has some connection with NASA, is rare, 3.5 inches in diameter, and clearly intended to be placed on the arm of a uniform. That's all we know, but our first guess is that the Erisian Liberation Front has expanded its realm of operations to include near-Earth orbit. And it's about damned time.

So, does the patch commemorate an actual NASA endeavor, is it a clever hoax, or is it yet more head-tripping parasymbolic weirdness from NASA's psy-ops department?
