Other than that, I probably have some other "publicly available" type stuff from when I was young. I still want to find that picture of me riding that lunar rover replica when I was kid touring KSC in the early 70's. I might have a picture of what I think was the Apollo-Soyuz module in the VAB.

I have a Super 8 mm movie (silent) that covered (in brief) the Apollo 11 mission. It's from late 1969. No home video back then.
I also (somewhere) have the negatives of screen shots I took of Apollo 4, the all-up first launch of the Saturn V on November 9, 1967. I was skiing at the time, but brought my camera and took the shots off the TV in the lodge. And, of course an audio recording of the landing on July 20, 1969: reel-to-reel 3 3/4 ips 1/4" tape. Plus there're a lot of assorted articles, publications, etc., in boxes in storage. BTW, since there's nothing here conspiracy-related, shouldn't this be in the Space Exploration forum? If necessary we could link to it from any conspiracy thread.

I've been trying to figure out where to move this thread since it is not a conspiracy theory. Space Exploration sounds good to me - thanks Maksutov.

I have hundreds of NASA special publications, a bunch of books and photographs. I've got a bunch of minor items like a couple of glasses.
It helps living across from the Johnson Space Center. Some of my more unique items. A piece of brick from Joe Kerwin's house (when he was a Skylab astronaut) A book that Deke Slayton once owned. A commemorative folder from the WHite Hose marking the one year anniversary of the first moon landing. |

I have an original (belonged to my grandmother's cousin that worked @ NASA in the 60's) Apollo 12 and 14 patch as well as a new Apollo 13 patch (I had the original but I lost it)
A pop-up book on the Apollo program that was published in the late 60's Failure is not an Option - Book and History Channel DVD 1970 year book with Apollo 11 feature on the cover. OT I have a commemrative coin that that contains metal from the Columbia that was removed after it's first flight.

I don't have anything, but if you're in the market for space stuff, you might want to check out this LA Times article. It may require registration but it's free. Here's a teaser.
North Hollywood junkyard: one giant heap for mankind By John Johnson Jr., Times Staff Writer March 25, 2007 Mounds of titanium and steel glinted in the afternoon sun, valves and pipes protruding in all directions like half-formed metal organisms. In one corner of the warehouse was a twin of the Apollo command module engine that brought Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong back from the surface of the moon nearly 40 years ago. Nearby was the second-stage motor for a Saturn V, the most powerful rocket ever used in the U.S. space program. Jonathan Goff, a 26-year-old rocket engineer, climbed atop a mound of titanium spheres once used to store highly explosive liquid oxygen rocket fuel and scanned the area for used rocket parts. "This is definitely a cool place," he said. For almost five decades, Norton Sales Inc. in North Hollywood has been collecting the nuts, bolts and heat exchangers from the rockets that helped American astronauts shrug off the steely embrace of gravity. This is where the bits and pieces of America's space program came to die. Through most of its history, the space junkyard has served as part museum and part fantasy camp for wealthy collectors willing to plunk down thousands of dollars for a piece of an Apollo rocket. Some of its best customers have also been car customizers looking for cheap, spaceflight-grade hydraulic valves. Now, after decades of NASA's dominance of spaceflight, private rocketeers are launching their own commercial space industry — and they are flocking to Norton Sales, junkyard of the stars. The Apollo command module engine goes for $1.5 million. That J-2 engine for the Saturn V? Yours for $500,000. A Thor rocket engine costs a relatively modest $75,000. |
