    I just tried to look it up. The most I could find is that they are sworn into the US Space Force.

    In a couple of hours- an RTL flight!!

    From the ARS Rocket Report:
    A well-traveled rocket ... The first stage was making its 10th flight. Remarkably, this single Falcon 9 rocket first stage has now launched 550 satellites into orbit, as well as one Cargo Dragon and one Crew Dragon. It has flown, on average, every two months since its first launch. It would seem that rocket reuse is more than a fad.


    Spectacular.

    I would suggest taking them to the Antiques Roadshow (the PBS show). They have had Apollo memorabilia before and would be able to give you advice on value and insuring the documents. You might have inquiries from biographers and historians who would want to study the letters as historical artifacts.

    Wiki puts first flight of the B-52 in 1952, 747 in 1969.

    Also, wiki says a launch vehicle is a rocket propelled vehicle. Sometimes these things just give me a headache :D

    If you do mean a launch vehicle the L-1011 used to launch Pegasus was built in 1974 so that likely wins. The specific 747 Virgin Orbit uses was built in 2001.
