One of my fondest memories was a long talk over beers with a co-worker in the IT group at my company who had worked (in normal IT, not on the program) at Grumman's Long Island facility where they built the LEM during the Apollo program. The story about all of them, even the janitors, showing up in the middle of the night looking to do whatever they could to bring Apollo 13 home was awesome. When he retired he left me all of his souveniers from those days, including the signed posters from the engieering team (plus some astronauts signatures).

WOW! :-) That is so cool!

This is what's wrong with the whole deal of space exploration---the cult of celebrity.

Gee, I can tell you where you can buy some signed stuff. But you might have to pay big time for some used EVA gloves. Want a signed Buzz Lightyear doll? Ebay's full of it-- some of it even marketed indirectly by the astronauts themselves
