Thanks! I was wondering if it was any good.

You held down a picture with SNES cartridges?

That's ingenuity!

You have some really interesting stuff!

Yeah- I thought it would be awesome if I did that SNES forever! (even though it isn't my FAVORITE system but its still awesome)

I is so jealous.

Chiken cannot into complete collection.

well, I got a Apollo 12 LEM+CM+astronauts model and a miniature ISS Model, and a space shuttle, and a Saturn V poster I got on my trip to the smithonian. But yours is just plain amazing.

i jelly.

Thanks but the ISS model sounds interesting -

My plan is to save like 5000 dollars (not happening ANY time soon) and buy some of NASA's REALLY cool models they have for sale. Ofc they're like $200+ apiece o.o

I'm just glad everyone likes my stuff .

That's awesome! I live in Italy so I'm a bit far away from anything NASA-related, but when last month Eugene Cernan gave a speech here in my city I managed to get a portrait of him moonwalking autographed. I guess until I get my hands on something else I won't be able to call it a collection, but it's definitely a good starting point... Although I don't think I'll ever get something as big as yours done! Great job! I just love old/vintage spacy things... I really wish I was born a few decades earlier

Yeah I know! I wish I was born earlier too . I have an autographed picture... John A. McBride STS-41G picture 3 top left

One of my old middle school friend's dad was an air force fighter pilot. He was apparently flying near Cape Canaveral during the Challenger disaster.

Suffice to say, the Air Force asked him a lot of questions post mission..

The shuttle missions affected a lot of people, especially indirectly.

Well it's what happens when your near an event like that. You get a lot of questions...

that's pretty neat! You are a true space geek, I tip my hat to you sir!

Really? I wish I were born a few decades later. I always get the feeling that we're going to have some mind-blowing breakthroughs when I'll be like 50 years old, and I wish those would have happened back when I was in my teens/early twenties.

Thanks man! I always wanted to be a Space Geek but I have not ascended to this level until now!

Also- I'm more of a past-headed person I feel like BEING there for the Gemini launches and the Mercury launches would be cooler than the Shuttle launches during my lifetime (I will be alive for the upcoming Constellation mission ofc but I haven't seen those yet)... You had hope during Mercury... it was one of the greatest moments in American history. America may fall and be forgotten but no one will forget that there was once a great country... that did the impossible by doing what is almost inconceivable and COOPERATE on the largest scale in our nation's history to succeed in ONE man's dream... Where else in history do you see such a great movement to make the single GREATEST HUMAN achievement ever?

It was also one of the largest covert military ICBM research programs in history...

... all thanks to operation paperclip.

I have a few autographs from astronauts, and I spent time with a few others and never bothered to get autographs (seemed an uncool thing to do at the time).

Regarding shuttle accidents, my wife and I were awake in bed the morning Columbia failed on reentry. I thought a bird had hit the picture window in the living room. Expected to see a bird print on the window and staggering large bird (it was LOUD), and went to the patio in front… nothing, except I kept hearing an odd rumbling for a bit. Not long after that we heard on the news that there had been a problem. The break up started near New Mexico, and they in fact ended up doing some searching near our house (we're in the foothills). A dad of one of the astronauts (Clark?) was living in ABQ, and was actually out to watch it fly over during reentry

Yeah.. debris was scattered throughout several states... but it's what happens when you blaze from Hawaii to Florida in a couple of minutes... You need the protection and all it takes is a basketball sized whole to ruin it.

Anyway thanks guys !
