Hey, didn't I see that on ebay?

Not a chance. I've considered donating it to some institution, but I'm always afraid that it will just end up in a store room. I keep it as protected as I can, along with the issues of Aviation Week from the Apollo missions. I even managed to find a copy of the "Proceedings On the Chemistry of Lunar Geology" about the findings from the moon rocks. Stultifyingly detailed, but when you realize what they're talking about a real treasure. The other thing shoved into this collection is a photo-copy of a photo-copy (ad infinitum) of the original paper (with hand written notes) that Arthur C. Clark delivered where he laid out the idea of geostationary satellites.

I have passed many of my mementos from the space program to schools and other folks. If my house burns down, not all of it will be lost. I have never sold a single item from the space program. I have flags and patches that flew on shuttles presented to me. I know I could get alot of money for these, however, I would rather give them away than sell them.
