23. Post a photo of you in front of something historic.

John Swigert statue in Denver International Airport (now relegated to the tram station...) A duplicate statue stands in Washington, D.C.

Lower down on the base of the statue is another inscription which is not visible in this photograph:

"ASTRONAUT, APOLLO XIII

CONGRESSMAN ELECT, 1982"
