First Bronco in Space?

So I’ve got quite the proposition for you guys today.

So let’s say I have the opportunity to send some personal affects to space and have them returned after the flight. Some fellow engineers and I were joking about sending a part from my Bronco.

Well that got me thinking… Since the VIN is on the glovebox door, would sending the glovebox door (with VIN) constitute my Bronco as the first Bronco in Space? (Bronconaut would be a sick name for the ol’ girl)

What do you guys think? Would this constitute as the first Bronco in space or would I just have a space glovebox?

One question I’ve had to myself, it’s a bit extreme, is if I would need to cut out the VIN out of the Frame and send that too? Maybe the original Owner’s Card? I mean a space Bronco’s gotta be numbers matching right?

It would be pretty impressive if you just got the ignition key to make the trip. You can carry that with you every day.

I have an array of things that have been to odd places. Then again, I have made it to the odd places with those items. Bikini Atoll is one of those places where only a few hundred people a year get to go. Yea, i don't do normal vacations.

I think it would be the first Bronco glovebox door in space. Still sounds cool. As mentioned above, I like the thought of sending the key. Since you could always have that with you.

I'd also send up a rock. When it gets home, climb up on your roof & drop it. Then you'd own a space rock that fell from the sky. It oughta to be an unusual looking rock.
