I get Glenn then, just odd to me its the 3 Apollo 13 guys and someone else. Apollo 11.  From the Mint: Quote:
Honor America's achievement in space with the New Frontier 1.5 Inch Bronze Medal featuring Apollo 11 astronauts John Glenn, Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin.
This medal is a smaller bronze duplicate of the New Frontier Congressional Gold Medal awarded to astronauts John Herschel Glenn Jr., Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins at a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Building on November 16, 2011, in recognition of their significant contributions to society. The medal measures 1.5 inches in diameter.
The obverse depicts the portraits of Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. facing left; and Friendship 7 astronaut John Herschel Glenn Jr. facing right, representing the two historic missions. The design also features a partial view of the earth from orbit, as well as a horizon line with an astronaut walking on the lunar surface facing the flag. The names of all four astronauts, "JOHN GLENN," "NEIL ARMSTRONG," "MICHAEL COLLINS" and "BUZZ ALDRIN," are inscribed along the outer rim.
The reverse features the Lunar Excursion Module orbiting the moon and the Friendship 7 mission capsule orbiting the earth with the inscription "WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND." Quote:
and I forgot about the Soyuz partnership. Looks like I need to get my books out again.  |
