Frequently Asked Questions

What does this trajectory design reference?
The design accurately depicts the ‘free-return’ trajectory used by the Apollo 13 crew to loop around the dark side of the Moon and return to Earth using the Moon’s gravity. The small ‘X’ marks the approximate location where the oxygen tank incident occurred.

Can I personalize this sweatshirt?
Yes! Like all our apparel, you can add a custom name, date, or short quote to the sleeve for an additional $5. This is a popular option for adding specific mission dates or personalized callsigns.

How does the sizing run for this embroidered sweatshirt?
Our sweatshirts feature a standard unisex fit. If you prefer an oversized streetwear look, we recommend sizing up by one. The high-density embroidery is designed to stay crisp and maintain its shape through regular wear.

What font is used for the quote?
We use a vintage 1970s typewriter font to mirror the era of the Apollo missions, providing an authentic retro-tech aesthetic that complements the minimalist line art.
