A bronze medal, aged with a dark brown patina, displays two circular faces. On one, three muscular nude figures reach toward a winged horse from a rocky outcrop. On the other, a small tree stands at the base of a craggy mountain beneath scattered stars. Raised text arches around the border: THERE IS NO EASY WAY FROM THE EARTH TO THE STARS.
