If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life. - Gus Grissom

Buy Your Own Custom Built Lunar Module

Check this out ... someone is offering a custom built Lunar Module for $89,000.  Each can be custom made to match a specific lunar lander Apollo Mission. Available with or without a complete interior. Built from durable materials with the highest attention paid to authenticity and detail.

Considering the flight worthy LMs cost what the Enclopedia Astronautica says was "Unit Cost $: 50.000 million," that's a bargain!

But if that's too rich for your blood, you can always get the 1/5 scale version for under $10K.
