Space Shuttle Thermal Tile Box Sets

Space shuttle thermal protection tiles are made of a 'foam glass' material. Each of the U.S. orbiters have over 34,000 separate tiles, each specifically cut for its own location, to protect the vehicle as it enters Earth's atmosphere. Note: This Columbia tile material is not from the 2003 loss of STS-107; rather it is from the same lot originally installed on Columbia in the late 1970s.

Fisher Space Pens

Don't believe the urban legend: NASA did not develop the space pen at the cost of millions while the Russians used pencils. Both write with the Fisher Space Pen! Developed originally as the "better refill", Fisher's semisolid ink relied on pressure rather than gravity to write, making it perfect for the weightless environment of space. First used by the Apollo 7 crew, Fisher Space Pens have been on every US flight since (and was adopted by the Russians in the 80s).
