Count Fooku Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) You beautiful man Dave!!!! I'd given up hope we might see him back over here again, is it too early to ask about talks/photo shoots etc?

prendy9160 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 All i will say to the people that have not met him take some time out and do so he is only one of two of the original seven from the mercury era. He is great to talk to and i had dinner with him a few years ago is talkative and a great story teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted March 22, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 22, 2009 It is likely that this will be the last time Scott will be in the Uk as he is 83 now so if you do want to meet this legend now is your chance jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart99 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Has anyone have any idea how much Scott Carpenter charges for an autograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Dave Phillips Posted March 25, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hello everyone Still working on this one. Expect around £50. As Jason said this will alomost certainly be the last time Scott comes over so i urge you not to miss out. He is one of the last Mercury seven astronauts alive and one of the pioneers of space flight. Let you know when i have confirmed a price.
