<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 479867, member: 5233"]I personally don't mind that at all, I would buy the whole set if I thought they were going to to it right. IMHO, they need to dump the planets and sun thing. If it was up to me, I would put 9 of the top accomplishments in NASA's 50 years on the obverse of the silver coins. On the reverse, I would put the NASA meat-ball logo and some kind of anniversary notation. On the gold coin, either the #1 NASA accomplishment (moon landing?) or a memorial to all the astronauts who were killed...with the same reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The memorial idea might be hard though. Most would just say to put the logos of the 3 missions who's crew's were killed (Apollo 1, STS-51-L, STS-107)...but IMHO the handful of astronauts who were killed in various training related accidents are just as deserving, and that wouldn't commemorate them. So, I don't know how to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
