This came across my dashboard today on tumblr, and I had to share. I’m not entirely sure when this is from, but 89 cents for that X-15 is roughly $8 in today's money, though a similarly sized (though vastly more detailed) modern kit would start around $60..

Hmm, would have to be after the X-15 was publicly disclosed.  Interesting to infer timeline...  First flight was in 1959 I think.  Any guesses?
