Significados de pilot's badge en inglés

I started the journey without pilot wings, when only pilots were astronauts.

To me it was a meaningless token, like the plastic pilot wings that stewardesses give to children.

It was pinned with replica Delta pilot wings and featured a personal note from the whole flight crew.

For the first time in the agency's history there would be an astronaut position, mission specialist, that did not require pilot wings.
