50th Anniversary Apollo 11 Knives

[RamZar]

While not a 50th Anniversary the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V is a wonderful model which you make from 1969 pieces and measures over 39" (100cm) high and 6” (17cm) in diameter when assembled.

That's very cool. Just looked into it, didn't expect it to be 4x the price of the normal version though!

Who released the Apollo 11 Anniv. knife pictured above? Not like the one I got and like from the Swissknifeshop.

Edit - I found it. I like the graphics on the SKS version better. Happy with it.

That Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) on the ground next to the flag which was left on the moon’s surface by the Apollo 11 crew still works after 50 years! It’s a retroreflector array with a folding support structure for aiming and aligning the array toward earth. The array was built of cubes of fused silica. Laser ranging beams from earth were reflected back to their point of origin for precise measurement of earth-moon distance, motion of the moon's center of mass, lunar radius, and earth geophysical information.
