To visit NASA Headquarters and each of the 10 NASA Centers in the US and have my picture taken at each of the locations. (Post a picture of this Space Shuttle geocoin in front of a sign showing the name of that NASA Center. Additional pictures are of course welcomed and encouraged also!)

I am a US Army Space Ops Officer, and as part of my current job, I travel to Kennedy Space Center, FL every time the Space Shuttle is scheduled to land. This is a great assignment for so many reasons, but one of the best perks is that I get to visit the only brick and mortar geocoin store in the world (in Merritt Island, FL) on a regular basis. When the owners of the store (Dale n Barb) told me that they were planning to create a Space Shuttle geocoin in remembrance of Challenger (STS-51L) and Columbia (STS-107), I immediately told them that I would need to buy several copies of them once they were produced. Several months later, while I was in town for the re-entry of Discovery (STS-131), I ended up buying 3 for our collection, 4 to send to a couple of my fellow geocaching Space Ops Officer friends, and 1 extra silver one to release to travel from cache to cache.
These Space Shuttle geocoins are, by far, the coolest trackable items that I have ever seen; they are more like trackable scale models than geocoins. One of the best features of these coins is that the tracking number is located under the hinged cargo bay door!
This geocoin is the silver one that I have released to travel from cache to cache.
