The first GRiD was made in 1982, and I don't think we've been to the moon
since a bit before that. However, several models of GRiDs were used in
the space shuttle. Find out which model it is, first. The early models
are pretty hard to find (I think less than 10,000 were made).
If you're thinking of paying Real Money (TM), let me sell you one of mine!
