It features the classic logo alongside an illustration of a NASA spacecraft.

We’ve left the best gift idea (and also the most expensive) for last. With this 45-minute zero-gravity experience, your recipient will board a Rockwell Commander 700 aircraft and take to the skies where a certified pilot will perform aerobatic maneuvers to create a feeling of weightlessness just like NASA astronauts will experience in space. The downside is that this experience is only available in Florida so it might only appeal to people who live nearby.
