Vanguard 1
March 17th, 1958
This little satellite has been in orbit since 1958, making it the oldest human object in space (unless….).
It‘s also the first spacecraft to use solar panels for power generation. This easily earns it a place as a S P A C E P I O N E E R long endurance champ. Its science mission may have ended in 1964 but it’s still up there waiting for Bezos or Branson or heck, who knows, some other obscenely wealthy person fly up and grab it. In our opinion though, “It belongs in a MUSEUM!”
Channel some of Vanguard 1's "never say quit" spirit and hammer out that long overdue letter.
If that little satellite can still churn away in the vast, empty coldness of space then it's totally acceptable for you to send that waaay belated birthday wish or achievement congratulations.
