The San Diego Air & Space Museum hosted a gala dinner in celebration of the 50th anniversary of NASA's Apollo 9 mission on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. Attendees were each gifted with this medallion made in part from Apollo command module flown metal and engineering metal from the Curiosity Mars rover, which was limited to 500 pieces.

Thank you for this information! Just ordered a few. Had hoped one day to get them on the secondary market, much better to get from the museum. |
