    Fifty years ago today, 11/9/67, the first Saturn V flew. This was the rocket that allowed the US to send men to the Moon. It stood taller than the Statue of Liberty, was more massive than six Boeing 747 jetliners and generated more thrust than two dozen of the jumbo jets.

    Now the US can't even launch a human to low Earth orbit. We have to pay the Russians to take us up to the International Space Station.

    Post a coin from 1967 or one that has a space based theme.
