descartes Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I can hardly believe how good Autographica has got. Jason and Dave have done it again in bringing back Jim Lovell. No need to spend air fares going to the States. Have patience and the guys will bring them here. Very very well done guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Outstanding news, this is by far and away the announcement of the year for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearwater Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Well: just another stunning line-up! Mitchell, Moore, Carr & Brand were exciting enough, but Scott & Lovell too? Wow! Knowing Jason & Dave, I bet there's more to come! Edited August 19, 2008 by shearwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Fooku Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Annoying question time, I know Capt. Lovell has appeared before, does anyone remember his fees and if there was an official photo session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovell has appeared before, does anyone remember his fees and if there was an official photo session? Capt Lovell's charges last time: Single signature including one mission £75 and each extra mission £5 3-D items £100 Gemini Completion items £125 Apollo Completion items £150 I don't think he did posed photos, but he was very accessible in the 'Astronaut Room' on the Sunday pm!

descartes Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Shearwater, He DID in fact do posed photos. I have one to prove it! I had my photograph taken with Lovell on one side and Haise on the other. Now I am tempted to add a signature to that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defluocor Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Great guest guys. I am not a huge space fan but realise there are plenty out there. Whilst the next event will only be my second Autographica, it seems to me that they are usually dominated by space-related guests 96 out of 11 so far). Tell me if I am wrong.

Count Fooku Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I think Autographica has always had a good dose of space guests. The general themes tend to be Space, Bond and military then sometimes one other variable subject. Admittedly the list is looking a bit space heavy at the moment if thats not to your tastes but I would imagine in the coming weeks we'll see more film and TV announcements.

No disrespect: but to be honest there are plenty of UK autograph shows to catch up with minor TV, film & sports celebrities. Autographica is the ONLY venue in Europe (and, perhaps, in the world!) where you can chat with people who have actually walked on the Moon or navigated a Lancaster for 617 Sqdn in the same room! Shearwater, He DID in fact do posed photos. I have one to prove it! I had my photograph taken with Lovell on one side and Haise on the other. Now I am tempted to add a signature to that one! Sorry! I stand corrected! Capt Lovell was very generous with his time, but I was stuck behind my stand most of the weekend! http://www.thespace-station.com/Lovell%20DB.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't grumbling about it, I was meaning from the point of view of the person who didnt seem as interested in the space/military guests. From my own point of view this is a great show!
