<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3726324, member: 5233"]I don't care for the coin either. I think if they wanted to do a commemorative for the final shuttle crew of<i> Challenger</i> as whole it would be one thing...but to single McAuliffe out feels more like an effort to generate revenue than to actually commemorate anything. Yes, she was the public face of an otherwise vanilla shuttle satellite deployment mission but seven people (including five astronauts) were killed...not just one. If you want to commemorate them as a group then do it...but don't exploit the most famous one for obvious economic gain. Let the dead rest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
