Mini '2001' monoliths fly into space on first flight of Blue Origin's second crew ship
A small stack of miniature black slabs modeled after the monoliths in the epic "2001: A Space Odyssey" have made the trip into space and back on the first flight of Blue Origin's second human-rated launch vehicle.
The blocks, which were flown for Spacemanic, a satellite mission integrator, in partnership with the Croatian publisher Amaranthine Books, lifted off and landed on Wednesday (Oct. 23), packed on board the New Shepard capsule "RSS Kármán Line."

$10,700 seems very pricey.

I guess with so many commercial flights going up, we will see a lot of these "flown in space" items. Think a different category than space missions.
