Clearing Space (written by Flight Director Ed, prepped and posted by Capcom Ruth)

I remember hearing the stirring words:

” To boldly go, where no man has gone before;” on first run prime time TV. I remember the great space race as it happened. And, yes, we did go to the Moon.

As soon as I found out that you actually could own something that was “THERE” in space, I just had to have a space flown relic of my own. My first was a genuine fragment of the Skylab space station. It still blows my mind that I have a piece of that history. I have been collecting now for over 25 years. I have relics flown to the surface of the Moon!

My collection has grown quite large covering from the 60’s up to as recently as 5 years ago from both Russian and USA space programs. But I have become something of a pack rat. As a form of therapy and a way to free up some assets, I am planning on getting my inner pack rat sedated enough to let some historic relics go (to a good home of course). So I am now ready to part with some of my collection. I am starting small with one select piece, a NASA flag flown on STS-26. We listed it yesterday on ebay on account page MarsHill2001_9. Depending on how well I can distract my inner pack rat, more relics will be offered. Stay tuned.
