RARE 1985 Coca Cola " First Taste In Space " Coke Space Can Challenger One
SOLD $2,375.00 Sold: May 5, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Condition is very good. This Coca Cola Space Can was designed to go into space. A few cans did make it to space. Very few were made for some Coca Cola partners, executives and museums. This space can was given to my Father in Law by the president of Coca Cola at the time - Donald R. Keough. My Father in Law was an avid Coca Cola collector. He knew Mr. Keough personally therefore was given this Space Can as a gift. I have enclosed in the packaging a couple letters from Mr. Keough explaining the can. On July 30th 1985 astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger tested Coca Cola in the Space Can, making this the first soft drink to be consumed in space. The Lucite display is 9' high x 8" wide x6" deep. I would grade the can as in very good condition with a couple small dents in the back as shown in the photos. This could have been the result of when the can was made. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
