This item is an example of the "Goble Awards", which was a joke honor awarded to the Cepheid who did the dumbest thing in the course of the year. The Award, cast in lead, was named for former Cepheid president Steve Goble, and depicts a rocket having crashed into the surface of the Moon.

This particular Goble Award has some damage on the fins of the rocket, which were the result, apparently, of being gnawed on by a cat belonging to a Cepheid of the time.
