[i]For only 500 yen (US$4.05), you can now purchase legitimate fragments of a Japan-launched rocket being sold under the moniker uchuu gacha ("space capsules"). In fact, it's such a good deal that we just had to buy one for ourselves! ...an actual piece of the H-IIB (pronounced H2B) Vehicle No. 3, launched on July 21, 2012 from Tanegashima, an island located in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The fairing piece is made of aluminum alloy and comes encased in a plastic capsule (the "gacha"). Perhaps most exciting, it's matched with a certificate of authenticity and serial number verified by JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.[/i]
