<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 24701717, member: 28299&quot;]Sorry I haven&#039;t responded sooner, but I haven&#039;t been on this or the CU coin Boards in quite some time.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been taking a rather long break from coins of late.&nbsp; It was a mix of health issues (which are more or less ok now), and just generally doing other things than coins. I still enjoy coins quite a bit, it&#039;s just that I&#039;ve been spending more and more time on space memorabilia.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my latest &quot;toy&quot;, Tom Stafford&#039;s Apollo 10 flown flashlight.&nbsp; Stafford was Commander of Apollo 10, the second mission to the Moon, and the first one to fly the Lunar Module (LM) around the Moon.&nbsp; The Apollo crews flew in the Command and Service Module (CSM) from the Earth to the Moon with the LM attached.&nbsp; The CSM/LM would orbit the Moon at roughly 60 nautical miles (~ 70 standard miles).&nbsp; Crews in the LM would detach from the CSM and proceed down to the Moon.&nbsp; During Apollo 10 Stafford, and Gene Cernan, test flew the LM down to 47,000 feet above the Apollo 11 landing site, to test all the procedures so that &quot;all&quot; that the Apollo 11 crew had to do was the last 47,000 feet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1577704[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1577705[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1577708[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The CSM was named Charlie Brown.&nbsp; The LM was named Snoopy.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1577709[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
