The show, which benefits the nonprofit Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF), is in its third year and promises to be the best yet, boasting such notable names as Mercury 7 astronaut Scott Carpenter, Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell and Apollo 16 moonwalker Charlie Duke. In all, more than 30 celebrity astronauts and space icons will participate in this exciting space-infused weekend. Guests may bring their own items to be signed or purchase memorabilia at the show from some of the most elite space artifact dealers in the industry.
“You don’t have to be an autograph collector to take home the ultimate space experience this November,” said ASF Executive Director Linn LeBlanc. “Spending time with these American heroes is an amazing experience; one which show-goers will be able to cherish for the rest of their lives.”
