In one of the photo albums I am converting to digital I have a shot straight up into the air as the 747 took off over our heads with Enterprise on it's back. As soon as I come across it I'll post it. That was an awesome day for me.
One of my other prize posessions is a collection of all the original Apollo patches, not the store bought kind, REAL NASA on the uniform type patches. My grandfather made me a frame by hand and mounted them on green felt and it hangs in my garage above my workbench proudly.
I hang it there because all my fondest memories of him are in the garage. He had the coolest garage. |
Yeah, that sounds like an awesome picture!
I've always wanted to buy a set of Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle patches to put in a frame and display, but the things are really expensive. One day maybe.
Well, I did buy a Fisher Space Pen while I was at Kennedy. You know, the pen that can write underwater, upside-down and in zero gravity so it's the pen astronauts and cosmonauts use in space? This thing writes like a dream and has become my favorite writing instrument; I still keep it in the original package, too.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Edwards AFB has a gift shop that sells patches and as I recall they were pretty reasonable. They are not the mission patches like the astronauts have, but they are good, slightly larger versions.

How can I contact a person whose name is on one of the microchips?
Contact information is not available for any persons listed on the microchips through the STARDUST office. We did not collect any email addresses or other contact information for the individuals listed on the chips. |
All ya need to do is go to Tron-Sector.com and you get to talk to one of 'em!  |
I need to come up with a good story to tell about this. lol

Hey Dave.
Didn't know if you wanted an additional photo for your collection. My Dad found an old Moon chart poster from his youth that shows the names of the various locations of the moon as well as some minor moon facts. Its print date is marked 8-69. What's interesting about this is the company that released this poster. It's New-Holland. New-Holland, is an agriculture company that manufactures farm equipment like tractors and combines. The poster reads at the top "Compliments of your Authorized New-Holland Dealer. I can take a photo of it for you if you want me to. Not getting rid of this poster. It's too cool and is a piece of space history.
