Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted July 23, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 23, 2009 General Thomas Stafford will be with us all weekend. Gemini 6 Gemini 9 Apollo 10 Apollo ASTP/Soyuz mission This will be his first and last signing event outside of the U.S. I have been informed that General Stafford will never again sign outside the continental United states so this will be your first and only chance to get him. He will also not sign after this year anywhere. We are still confirming on certain aspects of his visit but he will attend the dinner, Do the Photoshoot and be there to meet you all and sign. Once again let me stress you will never again get the chance to meet this space legend. He has flown in space 4 times and his career is amongst the most interesting of all the astronauts. We are honoured and priviledged indeed to have him attend. Dave Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Alexei and make it an ASTP Commanders Reunion?! I havn't heard anything further about Alexei's health recently. Anybody have the latest on that?

von Dawson's Express Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 von Dawson's Express says well done and is very appriciative. He's one of my hero's. I remember the Apollo 10 flight and the problem it had before launch with the CSM. Would be good if you could get John Young and Gene Cernan as well, make it an Apollo 10 reunion... Tell 'em there spacecraft is in the Science Museum... Bests to all von Dawson's Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swan Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Am I reading it right on the pre-order page? £170 per autograph I sincerely hope he doesn't charge any more for adding his missions. I have already had to forego the dinner to pay for this autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes would be expensive but a dream come true for us Space nuts John Young never does these events, he only does very sporadic private signings in the US for some company, I believe about 400 quid a go - eye watering!!! Would you pay 400 for somebodies auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you pay 400 for somebodies auto? At his last signing for Novaspace his base autograph fee was $495 (£292 at today's rate.) For £400 ($676) you would be getting a completion on something like Apollo 10 or 16 - actual price charged for this was $695. So yes, I would (and did) hand over 400 quid.

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted August 4, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Guys We are back to that "What will you pay to meet your heroes thing" I personally feel that to miss out on this chance if you are into the space programme is not an option. In 5 or 10 years time when most of these guys are just memories at least you can say. I remember when >................ Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
