Default Space Items

I was wondering if some of you own space related items, and which?

As far as I know, I don't own any, certainly no space-flown material.
I do own a pen from the Space museum... :roll:
All the space related items I've ever held in my hands, I had to return 8-[ .

Now that I think about it, I do own a copy of S.M.A.D., one of the space design "bibles". That comes the closest to a space mission object I think.
If you own things that aren't created by man, but do come from space, like meteoroids or something, I would like to hear as well.

Short summation of possible objects:
-anything that has flown in space, man made or not
-objects used for space missions. Anything goes, just name it. Parts of suits, Shuttle tiles, bolts if you want, mission maps, official mission logos (how do you call these things, with the names on them I mean)...

And what do the Google adds tell me: "Buy an original Apollo 11 pen"

Thanks for rubbing it into my face, Google

I have a very tiny rock that is supposedly a meteorite, does that count?

Because when I bought it the little piece of paper said so... I know how to ID it but it was so cheap I feel like it's probably fake. Until I get a new truly authentic one, however, I prefer my illusion. 8)
