CCAC Meeting Images For The 2019 Native American $1 Coin

I like 16. 01 is actually my favorite but it might be too detailed for its size, and I prefer "Native American" over "American Indian" any day of the week.

There's a problem here, which is that the 1st enrolled NA austronaut was John Herrington who flew on Endeavor STS-113 to the ISS in 2002. 02 is probably the most historically accurate for that flight. 03 is creative. 04 is silly.

But you can't use a living person's image. That is not to say that 100s of Native American's haven't contributed to the program for many, many years.

But how do you commemorate their activities without it becoming a generic space commem? I just don't get the connection with the Apollo Command Modules, the LEM, or the Gemini 6/7 Rendezvous (#18). I remembered the key words (Athena) to find the reference to Gemini 8 and 11 (#15), but that takes the cake for obscure.

I really like 02 and 13. No matter which design is chosen, it should really have a specific reference to Native Americans in the space program and not be generic, as @BStrauss said.

I like #8

I really like 1,2,7 and 9. If any of those designs are chosen I might look into getting one.
