Author	Topic: USS Alabama: STS-41D/Discovery patch display

I was at the Golden Spike National Park in Utah (where they drove the last spike of the transcontinental RR in 1869) and they had a replica gold spike that was flown on STS-38 in a display case at the visitor center. I sure didn't think I'd see space stuff there!
