Silver coin to celebrate David Bowie's career launched into space
UK's The Royal Mint on Monday launched a one ounce silver proof coin to celebrate the English singer-songwriter David Bowie's "intergalactic legacy and career". The coin orbited the Earth's atmosphere for 45 minutes before safely descending. "In recognition of Bowie's first hit single Space Oddity, we felt it was fitting to send his coin into space," Mint said.
