A small piece of gold foil, maybe 1 millimeter on each side, in a small, clear box contained in a presentation case labeled Apollo 11. Various pictures from the Apollo 11 mission surround it.

Columbia, the Apollo 11 command module, when it was temporarily stored at Udvar-Hazy center.

My birthday is in a week or two. But, I think this piece of Apollo 11 command module foil (Columbia) will be a hard gift to beat.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year was this flown piece of Space Shuttle Discovery. It's a piece of payload bay liner.

Discovery is my favorite Shuttle, and I'm glad to live near where it is displayed
