Hint 2
Find the austronauts, figure the diference in the patches
Solution
First, all of the astronauts must be recognized and named. Then they must be associated with the different mission patches, but something is amiss! All of the patches have numbers that are incorrect for their missions. Finding out by how much each mission number is off, leads to a number to index into the name of the astronaut associated with the mission. When you do this you get:
Name 	Mission 	Number Off 	Indexed Letter
Christa McAuliffe	STS-51-L 	5 - 11 = 6?
57 - 51 = 6	T
Neil Armstrong 	Apollo 11 	13 - 11 = 2 	E
Yuri Gagarin 	Vostok-1 	4 - 1 = 3 	R
Alan Shepard 	Freedom 7 	14 - 7 = 1 	E
Sally Ride 	STS-7 	8 = 7 = 1 	S
Chris Hadfield 	Expedition 35	37 - 35 = 2 	H
Kalpana Chawla 	STS-107 	108 - 107 = 1	K
John Glenn 	STS-95 	97 - 95 = 2 	O
Vladimir Komarov 	Soyuz-1 	16 - 1 = 15 	V
Buzz Aldrin 	Gemini 12 	17 - 12 = 5 	A
Tereshkova, the first woman in space!

The ad of Potentia
==Extra notes==
When the puzzle was originally published one of insignias was wrong and the resolution was lower (1500 x 1023 vs. 2500 x 1706) making it harder to read another (Soyuz "16").
