Here is an out-of-this-world fun project for the astronaut in your life. Simply snap out the pieces from the 4-inch square laser-cut thin steel sheets, bend the tabs to attach them together, and create an intricately detailed 3D model of the space shuttle Discovery.

Starting with the records of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, formed in 1915 to study problems of flight and to conduct research in aeronautics, the National Archives holds in trust the records of NASA and other records related to aeronautics, including the mission photographs taken during the space shuttle program from 1981 to 2011.
